Title: Milton Keynes Audi Dealer Roof Collapse
Post by: rdfcpete on June 01, 2015, 08:51:42 pm

Hope no-one on here, nor anyone's friends or family were affected by this?  :scared:

Looks like there'll be some more builders and contractors at the job centre soon...   :popcornsoda:

Looks like an earthquake scene or a photoshop, but no-one injured which is fairly spectacular in itself  :happy2:

Wow, that's an odd pic, looks like a reflection.

Glad no-one was hurt.

I blame the heavy ass Volvo at the front. :innocent:

 :signLOL: Not heard anymore about it, wonder if they've paid all involved off to keep quiet and promised compensation/new cars?

Quite an incident to go quiet quickly.

They've been posting updates on their FB page and contacted all customers with bookings (me included) to cancel / arrange alternatives

They're now sourcing temporary workshops near by to hopefully get servicing back up and running but the main building is gonna take some time to sort out.

They were due to have their RS3 launch event with static demo next week but that's been cancelled now.
