     That's quite a flooding... But I can't help thinking that they are insured and that it actually could be good for Porsche in these times.

    It seems you never had to deal with an insurance. You almost NEVER all the money necessary to cover the cost of the destruction and it takes a lot of time and manpower to assess everything, to write protocols, documentations, etc. 

    No advantage here...on the contrary.

    I'm glad I had not, but I just assumed that Porsche is better prepared for a flooding than for the current sales numbers.

    Maybe thats a new carwash facility? Save on paying labour for people to do it.. lol :)

    Is that a staff car park or something? Alot of those cars are not current- 997.1gt3rs, 996s and boxsters with egg style front lights... ??

    Are you sure the factory was flooded?

    This news article only says the factory lost power as a result of the flood.

    Wow...You would have thought someone at the factory would have moved cars to higher grounds.  What's worse is the customers will probably have to wait until after factory shut down for their cars to be built.
