Lucky to escape with no serious injuries.

This paragraph in the report raises an eyebrow..

"Mr Wilson said there was a ramp up to the first floor, which was "serving as a car park".

Our local Volkswagen dealership is constructed in a similar design, with the service and new vehicles car park effectively the roof of the service centre and show rooms. I suspect it is a generic design, so there will be a few worried dealerships this morning...

No different to a multistorey car park, and less demanding than pallets in an upstairs warehouse. Assuming it's put up right and not damaged.

I never buy a car until spares are available from the scrapyard. Is this Audi being proactive in supporting the used car market?
