An exotic super car that caught fire Monday on Airport Boulevard north of Santa Rosa is on its way to England for repairs at the factory that first built it.The rare silver McLaren F1 road car, one of only about 100 made, was valued by the owner at $2 million before it burned.Owner and driver Irv Kessler of Minnesota said he was at the start of a roadtrip from Healdsburg to Oregon, where the car is registered, when the car caught fire. As Kessler drove on Airport Boulevard just before 11 a.m. Monday, another motorist noticed smoke coming from the back and alerted him. The engine then caught fire and flames burned the back of the car. Rincon Valley firefighters found the car still burning and quickly doused it before it spread to the passenger compartment. THIS REALLY SUCKS! I'M GLAD HE HAD GOOD INSURANCE!!!
