    The Japan Auto (Norwegian jap-importer) storage was left in ruins after a fire last night with a lot of Supras, Skylines and whatnot inside worth several million NOK :( The Top Secret GT-300 Supra was rescued at the last minute when it's roof was on fire!

    My condolences to Tom Ole who runs the place! :(
    Will post more info when I hear anything.

    Holy Crap!

    So glad they managed to save the GT300. :worthy:

    Was the Top Secret S15 damaged much?

    Any updates?

    All honor to the brave people who ran in and saved what they could! Might not be arson, so don't jump the clutch just yet. The S15 isn't damaged much, but can't be moved out of the building until the investigation ends. There is a risk of roof collapse right above it so the danger isn't over:no:
