Unhappy His name was Sandy :(

Awesome car bad bad swimmer. Had 15k very happy absolutely trouble free miles in the past 10 month. He struggled hard. Had its rear wiper going at full speed and alarm screaming for about 10 mins. But salty water up to the ceiling won. He died in a bright company of CaymanS and Ducati 1199S though. They all would be deeply missed. RIP

Wow! That's just a horror story.
Hopefully, your insurance company will act fairly and quickly.
A MINI, a Cayman S, and a Ducati? Yikes!
Really sorry about your losses, but they *are* "replaceable things."

Oh man, that's brutal just to look at... So sorry for your losses. Thankfully my MINIs and all the other toys stayed safe during the storm. Best of luck hopefully getting another R60!

Dude, I've seen pics of your CMS here, this truly is sad!
Hopefully you can find another Sandy soon.
Glad everyone is safe though.

omg, those pics are painful to see. Sorry for the loss. I've received an email from MINI saying they will help out by giving $750 off another MINI if your car was totalled by Sandy
