Very cool Video about a closed VW dealership in brazil

Here is a a link to a very cool video about a Volkswagen dealership in Brazil that was forced to close in 2001.

The amazing thing is it still has the cars in it and, despite being closed, the owner still turns up every day at 6.30am to spend his day there. He says in the video that many people call him looking for a part for their car and occasionally he will sell them what they need but other than that he just turns up, every day, cleans the place and spends time looking after the cars he calls friends. One of them is still technically a brand new car as it has never been driven.

It’s actually a rather sad story as it seems the guy has lost his family as well as his business. It appears he doesn’t speak to his children and his wife has passed on. But at least he can say he finds some happiness in his dealership.
