Apparently so, one of the 205 chaps lives nearby and posted it up. No confirmation yet though.

Hope everyone is OK, and not too much damage

Ok, just popped over to see pete, and as rasher says, he's already been in contact and will issue a statement soon.
There has been a fire, and I'll leave it to pete's statement to explain the in's and out's.
Pete is obviously upset, and the staff all looked shell shocked, as expected. My thoughts go out to the lot of them at this time, and as I said pete, if there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

Unhappy SAD SAD DAY

gutted for the entire team up ther at Prosport. Got my car back 2 days ago after 3 weeks with them. Pete has done a fantastic job and managed to squeeze 360BHP from my V7 JDM STI (standard too barr for exhaust) had great power runs. They were relieved (as was I) that Id collected it 24 hours before fire or my car may have been a gonner. Will respect Pete's decision to post the cause of fire but want to say that these guys are the best Ive ever come across in all my years of driving performance cars.

Just feel so so sorry for them all. Likewise to the other postings to Pete, John and the rest of the lads if you need any help give us a call

Take care lads and you'll be up and running with the loyal customers you so richly deserve
