Yeah I know hard to believe.. This is the financial district just in front of the police museum.

 

Holy cow! Makes me realize how fragile our way of life and whole society are!

 

Unfortunately flood waters like this tend to carry lots of floaties along which increases the amount of damage the flowing water can do, and is also one of the key reasons people die in flood waters - get knocked about, pass out, drown.

In Houston during floods or hurricanes we are constantly reminded to stay out of flood water, as even just a little is enough to knock you off your feet and suddenly you find yourself in a flood-grinder of debris.

 

Wow this is horrible seems like NYC is hit roughly once a decade with a huge tragedy, I hope this trend doesnt continue ... 911 almost a decade ago and now sandy ...

 

Norman,

An '09 Brooklands -- well done! I've never been able to get very excited about the Conti GT with its Phaeton underpinnings, great car though it is. The Brooklands, On the other hand -- that's a BENTLEY.

 

Norman post a pic of that nice Brooklands, quite the Bentley, always nice cars.

Hope you still visit us in the AM forums, don't be a stranger now that you have a Bentley

 

 

Gone but not forgotten.. 2008 R8

 

What happened? Did it get flooded in Sandy?

 

Im surprised the car has not been exported.

 

Ha ha no problem about that since I plan on getting another aston in the future. I have been busy lately so didn't have time to pick up the Bentley yet but should do so around Wednesday. Here is a pick of the beast.

 

What is left of my Aston:

Now, that has presence. Nice

 

Looks quite recyclable. I'm sure that'll be a popular bid, looks pretty easy for one of the less scrupulous amongst us to bring that back to life.

At least they don't have the keys!

 

AXA,
Not really my cup of tea. The proportion of the R8 has never looked quite right to me.
