    The Brisbane Ferrari dealer has most, if not ALL their Ferraris on the 2nd floor of their building, which is around 4 stories off the bottom floor. :D:D

    Dont know how many other cars/dealerships were affected. Hopefully none, but you never know. :):)

    i heard porsche at newstead cleared the joint on tuesday as did merc and bmw.

    euromarque was always going to be ok.

    the streets around my place were full and i mean full of cars that came up from low-lying areas.

    Remind me to never buy a light blue 360 spyder with red upholstery. Surely you would have someone move it to higher ground before the water came up.

    unless of course you have been wanting to sell it, and figure you'd rather take on your insurance company for a payout than try sell a car of very limited appeal on the currently terrible used car market?

    It looks like a different one. The one in the ad does not have power seats, while the flooded one does. Either way it is a sad thing to see.

    It's probably worth the same as a pristine second hand 348 now.
