Post Hurricane Charley

This was a very close call CHARLEY almost got the Benz but it’s just has some scratches I’m using an extension cord for power, I need a new line run. The same tree took out the line. More pics to come

Glad you're safe ...

So glad that you (and the 240) made it through Charley relatively unscathed. I was in Naples, Fla, and we got about 95mph winds. Went to a friend's house in Cape Coral, and she had a huge tree laying across her entire house. It was an unbelieveable site to behold.

Have a VW Jetta diesel now, so haven't been posting a whole lot on here, but I'm hoping for that dream car someday (300sdl).

Take care,
Michael.

The last real big hurricane to have come through Orlando was in 1960 before my time
