Burnt SLR pics
These pics were taken at a towing yard close to my job. Apparently the car caught fire after an oil leak and went up in flames quickly. Apparently the resin used to hold the Carbon Fiber together made it burn really fast. Almost brought a tear to my eye. The owner supposedly has an SLR 722 edition also.

Damn what a waste. I'd have a fleet of 10 SLR's if something like that happened to me. MB would have to make that right.

all that technology?
and no fire supression system under the hood,a single 10 lb halon bottle would have prevented this total destruction.anyway,i dont think that MB or the insurance company is going to settle this one to quickly.

That's not a bad deal, considering the OEM brake setup is $88,000.00
