Storm No. 3 (international name Wipha) made landfall in the northern provinces with strong winds of level 8, gusting to level 10, causing heavy rain over a wide area, knocking down trees, blowing off roofs of houses and seriously affecting people's daily life and property.
In Quang Ninh, some images circulating on social media recorded a scene of a range Rover owner putting the car in a sealed container to prevent damage caused by the storm.
This action received a lot of attention, because it is a relatively effective solution but not yet popular. Using containers can help protect the vehicle from strong gusts of wind, flying objects, rainwater and the risk of fallen trees. For vehicles with high value, this is considered a proactive option to minimize risks.
According to a car importer, to put the vehicle in the container, drivers often control the vehicle in and out through a sunroof, side door or luggage compartment depending on the design and space inside the container. This requires technique and calculation to ensure safety for both people and vehicles.
The range Rover in the photo is likely to be of the old generation, with prices ranging from 6 to more than 16 billion VND, depending on the version and year of manufacture.
High-end models such as the SVAutobiography use a supercharged 5.0L V8 engine, with a capacity of 550 horsepower. With great value, the car owner's desire to protect his property in harsh weather conditions is understandable and worth noting.
