Unbelievable ... wish I was 20 years younger I'll get it and make it a BMW ~ Tim Horton's and build a track behind the place by God there are enough BMW's in Ontario
Does anyone have the address ... I like to make a drive by one day on my way to Toronto ???

Might this be a old M3 in this Showroom?
What do you think fellows ///M Drivers ... some fellow(s) should purchase this place and make something out of it ... perhaps a joint venture ... Bar & Grill in the service bay ... coffee shop, special parts department including mods dealership representations so many possibilities ... how can someone just lock the doors 30 years ago and forget about this place ... sureley he/she must have had money to burn Goes to show you how times have changed ... no one would walk away for this today.
What a story this is ... anyone seen it in real life? Here is the link ===>Click have fun reading

One could make it a Specially ///M Division Centre ... selling all kinds of ///M mods and stuff showing old movies in the basement ... training for weekend mechanics in the service bays ... build a nice track behind the place for weekend fun ... yes to be young again and have the money to do it all would be great ...
Problem is when we are young we have to struggle and when we finally have the cash it's all too late ... so let us enjoy our ///M

I would not mind to invest some cash in this place ... a bunch of us can make it a "Limited Partnership" under Canadian and US laws think of the opportunities this place holds alone the story and the nostalgia (spelling?) of it all ...
Shares anyone ... ? let's do something ... remember it's only money we cannot take it with us for "the last shirt has no pockets" it could be our place away from home hehehe PS I e-mailed the autor of the story ... mike@jalopnik.com lets see if he gets back with the address if he does I'll let you know Mr. M3 and other interested parties ...

That is a pretty sweet idea Rolf if you could get the right people together, to pull it off. If I was closer to the area I wouldn't mind putting in a share but that's a little far for me to go play
