[TR] TRF fire

[Matt]

Agreed, a terrible blow to the British Car community.  TRF has been a great asset to the Brit car hobby.  After watching a YouTube of the fire, it appeared that they pulled out a TR6, TR3 and maybe a GT6 before the fire got to them.

That is terrible news, not only for the Runyan family and The Roadster
Factory employees, but for the entire British Car community.

According to news reports "all that was left was a gutted brick structure
in the front of the business and smoldering ruins behind." Google now
lists TRF as "permanently closed".

Sad news indeed.
