:cry::cry::cry::cry:
It's a good thing some of those guys had plastic bags over their cars, otherwise who know how much carnage there would have been!
What the......
Here's a quote from the Russo and Steele guy,
"That'll just buff out.":rain:
All I can say is.... F#ck!!!!!!!
That would be devestating!!
I feel sick, that's so sad. :mad:
The paint on the chevelle looks a bit dodgy, the paint came off in a big chunk, glad I didnt buy that one.
SURELY THIS WAS AN AUCTION FOR DAMAGED CARS, NOT AN AUCTION THAT WAS DAMAGED?
These were all big $$$$ cars, all bright, shiney and straight. All the damage was sustained on site during a storm.

The next one WILL BE an auction for damaged cars by the look of it.
Like Andy said, the amount of bog falling out of the red Chevelle i would hate to see under that shiny paintwork of the rest of those cars :omg:
Just can't see the evidence of fallen trees, power poles, blown over cars/debris etc, very weird! But that's life!!!!

It was the huge tent they where parked under that blew down and fell on the cars.Watch the vid apparently some had already been sold at the auction.

I hope for someone's sake it wasn't one of the cars that had already sold:ripped:
