Not sure if this has been posted, I searched but couldnt find anything, but the Japan Auto (Norwegian jap-importer) storage was left in ruins after a fire last night with a lot of Supra's, Skylines and whatnot inside worth several million NOK, the Top Secret GT-300 Supra was rescued at the last minute when its roof was on fire.

2 Supra's have been listed as total wrecks so far, the full thread can be found here:

This has been investigated and its arson.....

 

Probably started in this corner:

Under the ashes rests a Sorarer and a Supra. In the back under the roof rests an R33. All these are crisps.

Parts storage, and in the door opening there a GT-R R32 - everything crisped.

Euro Spec Supra can be seen here, crisp.

Hopefully this has only sustained minor body damage. One of the salvagable cars.

The Supra doesn't look all healthy, you can barely see the fire damage on the roof.

Pictures from main cleanup today... we managed to salvage

the Kaira Skyline, the Auto-Sign R33 and a Figaro...

 

The half-burned S14 still has a working engine, and a lot

of tools and other stuff was salvaged.

So sad to see all that was so glorious like that:(

 

Hey the drift cars, the S15's, meh.......they would only be wrecked over a few drift sessions anyway......lol :p

 

The standard LHD and RHD Supra's I worried about more, let alone about the Top Secret Supra lol :D

 

I think my next drift car should be a Supra........
