Hi Nathaniel,
I think I remember the shop in Ghent from a few years ago (searching for
garages for car importing!)
Did it have a yellow front, or am I wildly wrong?
Anyway, do you remember the prices of the 8865 and 8880, as I need them
desperately for my supercar collection!
Oh, and any idea of closing times of the shops. Cant remember if it is
normally 6pm in Belgium?
TIA
Mark
