I decided to sign up here to ask for the expert opinion of ye lads on this hurricane thing...

I have a collection of luxury cars, 172 7 Series, 162 S Class, 2011 XJ, which I'm selling for a new A8, and a 171 Range Rover.

The first question is:

Should I put the motors into the garage? Will that protect them from any damage from this ex-hurricane or tropical storm or whatever the füćk it's called now? Is there anything else I can do to protect them?

Also, I live in Swords in Dublin, will that be badly affected?

I was going to go for a drive tomorrow, would that be advisable?

Cheers lads, and remember, stay safe;).

But then again, you live in Swords. That's a bit of a contradiction.

So, just because I own a few cars, I'm loaded?

Depends are they 1/12 rc or 1/72 die cast, the die cast will definitely rust in the garage the rc will be fun to race on the paths in high winds.

The general rule of thumb in this situation is to fill each car with sandbags, front seats, back seats and boot. This should render them safe. You can also apply selotape over all of the windows to reinforce them from being blown out.

Lastly, plug the exhaust of each motor to minimise water ingress.

Put them in the batcave Bruce.
Yes.
Depends on what vehicle you bring?

I know how he feels, bit concerned the storm will knock my helicopter into my swimming pool as it's parked quite close.

You asked for opinions , I gave mine

Come on, lads. Should I bother my bollocks trying to flood-proof the cars or not?

No. The things you own, end up owning you. Let go of these worldly possessions, take this chance to get in touch with the stillness at the center of your soul.

Or put them in the garage, who gives a **** like?

RobbingBandit · 16-10-2017 02:20AM

Nah just buy more on Tuesday Mr Monopoly, I'm doing a great deal on hurricane insurance if you want to hurricane proof them cars though.

Well for boats in a hurricane the old advice was to sink them in a river and pump,them out afterwards.

Perhaps you could drive them of skerries pier for safe keeping , the fire bridge can be contacted afterwards

JONJO THE WISER · 16-10-2017 02:21AM

The garage only has room for two cars, what should I do? Which one should I put them in? I'm being serious!

Esel · 16-10-2017 02:22AM

Leaving them under the bridge would be safest.

16-10-2017 02:29AM

If you're that worried about actual flooding, park them on the sandbags so they have an extra foot of clearance.

JONJO THE WISER · 16-10-2017 02:33AM

Final question, what cars are worth keeping safe out of them?

The Ferrari and Lamborghini

JONJO THE WISER · 16-10-2017 02:35AM

I'll reiterate, what cars that I have are worth keeping safe from the floods today?
