It's a shame to hear that about anyone's pride and joy - and I can't think of anywhere worse TBH.
If it had made another few miles to Cambuslang then it might have had a chance due to the fire station being close by

A fire engine turned up just as the flames had finished up, seemed to be mainly the engine/bonnet area that got it, it didn't sweep through thr car

Stew, I thought it might have been Bob too. Thought he lived in Ayr but s'pose it's not that far away.
