Tom Medley's recent garage fire.
I'm pretty sure there was some vintage kart and engine stuff in there.

What was the coupe? Any idea on how it started? Just devastating.

Tom lost his 1940 Ford coupe, and a vintage travel trailer in addition to the contents of the garage. The good news- he was uninjured, coupe is reportedly going to good friend Jack Chisenhall (vintage karter, owner of Vintage Air in Texas), hopefully to be restored
