Wow, that's terrible! Hopefully no one got hurt.

Any clue on what started it?

A autocross friend of mine lost his two S2000 and his shop yesterday

In reply to Slippery: not yet, they think it was electrical. No one was in the shop. It erupted in the middle of the night while they were asleep.

Wow!

My condolences to your friend. If it was my shop I'd be bawling my eyes out for days.

In reply to Toyman01: I agree. He seems to be holding it together. He loved those cars and it was a great shop with lots of equipment

At least it was a detached garage!

This is a nightmare worse than an accident for any car guy.

Oh wow. That hurts to look at.

Pretty new building for dodgy electrics, so sad.

My guess would be a pile of oily rags.

That sucks big time.

My guess is a fuel source + oxygen + some form of ignition.

Sounds kind of like all fires.

That's terrible. I would be gutted. Hopefully it won't take too long to sort it out with the insurance company.

I didn't expect to see melted S2000s when I opened this thread. I am saddened by this.

That's why they make these guys. Make sure to use the grounding strap.

Yeepers that is bad.

Any time I have an oily rag at home, I speard it out in the driveway. A couple of days later, I chunk it in the dumpster at work.

Be very very careful with linseed oil soaked rags. That stuff will self ignite very easily.

I just did some work with linseed oil recently.. Funny how you forget the simple things sometimes.

Forgot to mention that this is a horrible loss.

Damn. That sucks. Recently there was a fire out in Lake St Louis at an apartment complex. If you wanted to, you could pay extra to park under the awning.

I know him too and heard about it. Saw pics of the flaming garage after it happened. Heard it's been ruled an electrical fire starting at the panel. Shame to see those melted metal of what used to be nice cars.
