Audi Quality

Up to 20 cars were damaged when part of an Audi showroom collapsed.

A section of the first floor, covering the workshop area of the showroom on Northfield Drive, Milton Keynes, gave way at about 12:00 BST.

No-one was injured. The fire service attended to assess what happened.

The Jardine Motors Group said everyone was evacuated from the building and the company was "investigating the cause of the collapse and the extent of the damage".

Yep, and in true Audi tradition, they'll have to demolish the building opposite and dig up the road to get access to it to rebuild it. ;D

Four rings on the bonnet... one ringpiece behind the wheel. ::)

When I first spotted the Volvo my first thought was it's a second hand dealers until I realised it was a main dealer so assumed it was there second hand lot, plus I did wonder why they had the vehicles stored on the top floor, not a great idea even if its designed for it.

Multi-storey car parks seem to get away with it.
