Looks like it may have been part of a rally?

SaphGreyC63

That's anthonymckay's

He posted another thread about it and he had pics up on Instagram. Wanted to get into a 507 now.

Real shame about the cars but nobody got hurt and thats the important thing.

He was going to wait to post pics and vids until his insurance was taken care of. Also, the State of California may try to stick him with something for the fire. That's why I haven't posted anything either.

How long did that fire burn for?

Need4Speed

Oh my, that's horrible! I'm glad to hear everyone is okay!

Dads C63

Glad everyone is okay!!

CoolBDPhenom03

I'm not sure how long it burned for. He pulled over because the GTR black edition in front of him drove off the road and flipped into a 100ft ravine. He and another friend of mine helped pull out the 2 people trapped upside down. Meanwhile, somehow, his car caught the brush on fire.

I was on the drive... way ahead of this. Anthony did the right thing. I would think this should not be posted until his insurance figures things out.

MaroonC63

Agreed with everyone else, this shouldn't of been posted. Insurance has a way of finding these videos/pictures when a claim is made and they will always try to void a claim when possible.

Anthony did a good deed. Luckily the outcome had no casualties. I think everyone on this forum would do the same in his situation.

so he pulls over to help someone else and his car catches fire

that's good luck and bad luck all at the same time !

CoolBDPhenom03

Rich, I saw tons of pics of your car. There was even a sweet one side-by-side with Anthony's.

OP, can you edit this thread and post it after you get the green light from Anthony?

BAD430BENZ

i know it's none of my business but if the OP has these pics to post , what makes you think "other's" haven't seen them . it can't be too much of a secret if these pics are out

I googled 'GTR' 'C63' and 'fire' and found these pics on couple of sites.

CoolBDPhenom03

Well I was just trying to help minimize the exposure, but I guess with the sensational nature of this event and everyone being social media eager, it was bound to fly around.

Multani

If it wasnt posted, most of us wouldnt know. I sure wouldnt know :/

mr747

Omg glad his ok

anthonymckay

Yep, that's my car. I was planning to make a post with photos and a video of the crash itself and explain everything in detail, but was waiting till after my insurance settled everything just to play it safe. I can't imagine they'll deny my claim since I was pulled over and reacting as the first person on the scene (therefore, I wasn't exactly thinking about where I was parking my car). But you never know with insurance companies.

And not even a week after I had finally mounted some new wheels and installed some H&R springs, haha! Here's a shot of mine and neoprufrok's cars before the drive

It pains me to see such a beautiful car go.

BerBer63

how did it catch fire, some dry brush underneath?

jrcart

Exhaust gases can easily get cats and exhaust pupes hot enought to catch dry brush on fire, especially if he was doing some spirited driving leading up to it, pipes could have been red hot. I have seen it happen before on an off-roading excursion in my Raptor, seeing how low these cars are to the ground it does not take much more than a couple seconds of contact with some dry grass and boom.

Not sure why he is concerned about his insurance company, it is a completely legit reason forma fire to start....

CoolBDPhenom03

What about the State?

Jean Valjean

Holy crap AnthonyMckay,
Sorry to see your car go up like that. You should be fine with your insurance. I too, lost my 1st C63 and had insurance pay me out and I bought another one. Was fhe Rally well organized? How many cars were on the Rally? Where did the fire take place at? Just a few questions of interest, as I have been intimately involved in planning and organizing a couple of Similar Rallies in the past. It is a BIG venture!

No one should blame you for anything when you were trying to come to the aide of someone in need. You sir, are a good man, Cheers to you brother! Glad you and it sounds like the occupants in the GTR are ok.

BO Knows

DAM!! Lucky you were ok anthonymckay! At least I got a chance to sit in your car.

CoolBDPhenom03

I think the final tally was 78 cars.
