When We Were In Singapore Last Month,

we did experience a few torrential downpours, but I guess nothing like the one that caused this damage to an underground car park, the St Regis Apartments on Singapore's coastline's car park is packed with luxury motors, like these, being underground there is a warning system in place to warn car owners of imminent flooding, but it failed to alert them, the owners have to pay huge taxes on imported luxury cars in Singapore, with the models costing significantly more than they would in the UK, as a result both the Lamborghini and Ferrari cost more than £550,000 each while a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked near them is a staggering £885,000 - £500,000 more than in the UK, but hopefully they will be insured to make them as good as new, I like nice cars and it is a shame to see them like this, but it seems even with every safe guard in place nature can be cruel.
