Victoria Got Struck by Lightening!!!
Just got off the phone with memike and it was a weird fluke. The lightning struck a tree, jumped over to his dog run, ran down the chain link fence to Victoria, and jumped over to the passenger front fender. The harness for the electronic ignition is fried as well as the control box and distributor. The fire started when the rubber fuel lines melted and burst into flames. So far the electronic ignition harness, control box, distributor, fuel lines, and fuel pump will get Victoria running. The body damage is confined to what looks like tattoos on the fender and hood and the gunk from the fuel line/fuel fire under the hood. The cable company ran out of spare parts today and it will probably be tomorrow before everything is repaired and back up to speed so we can hear first hand what happened. Mike says he has some gnarly pics to share and they will be posted ASAP. The dog run was empty since Buddy was in the house at the time. Everybody on the hill is OK but pissed because the only entertainment they have is the radio and DVDs they have already seen. All things considered, not a bad position to be in after what happened. :cheers:
