Old news, this happened 3 years ago in Holland.

Sad situation, fire department did not get there as fast as normal and everything went up.

That my my thought. No mention of the classic Ferrari race cars they showed in the intro, hopefully they had been moved out.

Even if old, still painful to watch.

Odd that the other half of the dealership sold Chryslers. Of course, our local Porsche/Jaguar/Mercedes/Lexus/Acura dealership also sells Hyundai. Figure that one out from a marketing standpoint.

How did the fire start? I hope that the owners get compensated well.
