Ford catches a break - Audi, VW, Porsche and Lamborghini don’t

[TomC]

Felicity Ace catches fire, is abandoned, and drifting at sea.

With 3965 vehicles, of which approx 1100 are Porsches, and 189 are Bentleys. Looks like Ford isn’t the only one having a hard time getting cars to customers. Anyone have a deep sea salvage tug?

What is missing there is that the EV's on board burned for 5 days. The fire is finally out. and salvage crews are heading in.

All the crew where evacuated safely on the first day.

Man, was VW building some type of VW ark? VW, Audi, Porsche, and Bentley. Only missing Lamborghini, Bugatti, Seat, and Skoda to make it the complete VW family!

forgot to mention. they got tugs up to it shortly after the crew got out and have moved it to closer to shore.

Damn.


When I worked at DIA I saw a few Porsches come off the back of Lufthansa wide bodies.

I assume it's only the high end super customs that get overnighter from Europe.

not the 1st time luxury models lost at sea - I think this happened in 2003

And now it's gone... "the cargo ship sunk near the Azores Islands about 9 am local time on Tuesday, March 1. This was officially announced by the Portuguese navy via its Facebook page. The vessel lost stability in waters where the depth is approximately 3,000 meters or over 9,800 feet. "
