A bad day
In fact a really bad day
Got a call at 11am this morning to tell me my lock-up container/store has been gutted by fire.
I went up to see if anything was salvageable but horror of horrors, nothing! everything lost! all my years worth of collecting BX and XM parts gone in one go.
This puts paid to any thoughts I had of buying the Mk1 19GT
The fire brigade said they had to break-in to deal with the fire, so it's unlikely to have been started from inside, but more likely from an adjoining container. I await their report to confirm this.

Not good. Hope you can get some kind of compensation.

Thanks for the messages guys.
At the moment I'm still looking on the bright side of things, I'm £60 a month better off
However, it will really hurt when I'm trying to do something on my car (or someone else's) when I find I don't have the parts I need.
The big things like exhaust, gearbox's, struts, hubs and calipers are fairly obvious to be missed, but it's the thousands of small parts and pipes etc that will hurt.

Shit! Bad luck!
If you do need something give me a shout - I\'ve got loads of bits and I\'m moving house soon and they can\'t all come with me, so there will be stuff going FOC.
