The Roadster Factory fire

[Rhodyspit75]

I’ve been hearing that there has been a massive fire at the Roadster Factory. Unable to confirm it but I’ve gotten it from several sources.

Roadster Factory a total loss after Christmas fire, Armagh chief says

Sad to hear that.Horrible thing to happen to the owner/employees on
Christmas day.Tough way to start out the New Year.
Is there anybody near there that could let us know if it was covered by
insurance,& if not,is there a way to help them out?

 

[NutmegCT]

Such a tragic loss.

How can BCF members help?

 

[JamesH]

they are saying on "another" forum that this is probably fatal to TRF, though i will still be listening to hear if there is anything that can be done.

If Albert tries to come back I know where all my orders will go. I've been to TRF dozens of times since the late 80's and knew Albert when he was little. TRF is all he knows so if he tries to make a come back keep him in thoughts and prayers!

Horrible loss. Glad nobody was injured. Is there anyway that we can help?

 

[Basil]

This is a huge loss to our community! Hope they are somehow able to make a come back. The article did say anything about cause - does anyone know yet or have you heard what the cause may have been, or is it too early?

I saw this from an hour ago. > MSN <

Basil (or whoever finds out first) -- as soon as you hear what we can do to help rebuild, please stick it to the top of one (or more) pages. An email blast would likely be welcome too.

I tried to call them, but no answer and mail box is full (not surprising).

Customers received this letter in today's email from TRF:

That's really cool that after all he's been through that he's asking
for people to donate to local fire departments.I'd be interested to know
if his losses were covered by insurance,& that he & his crew will be OK.

 

[Basil]

I have put a notice at the top of the BCF page with a link to this thread and also a link to the fund raiser. It's not much, but hopefully it will help a little.

 

[YakkoWarner]

Is there any mechanism for people to make a donation that is not an online system? I have pictures of dead presidents and a checkbook - neither of those fit thru the internet but I certainly would like to contribute...

I’m happy to say that the British Motorcars of New England https://bmcne.org/ held our annual after holidays party Sunday. We had a 50/50:raffle and we were able to donate $315 to the fund. The winner donated his winnings back to the charity.
