Months later, we are taking a look at the
former dealership to see what remains.
And what we found was something we never expected.
This is the site where 7 months ago, a massive
fire blazed across the premises causing internal
and external damage.
Today, it is rare to find part of the roof
on the property that is anything more than
torched metal supports.
Outside we find cars that did survive the
disaster, but were then neglected by the owners.
Clearly, scrappers have caught onto this site
before us, as there are signs of break-ins
to the otherwise perfect vehicles.
Another indication that these cars are vacant
is the overgrown foliage surrounding them.
Some of them have so much developed plantation
covering them that they appear buried under
leaves.
The ground is mostly nettles but eventually
we work our way over to a point of the property,
we believe there to be an entrance to the
building.
We were right!
We have made it inside and into one of the
most unique rooms we have come across during
urban exploration so far.
Not one car was saved from the fire and this
warehouse space filled with burnt out cars
emphasises the monetary loss because of the
tragedy.
Although our car knowledge is far from good,
we notice that there are some good types remaining.
If you see a make you recognise, drop a comment
under the video to tell us and help us learn
more about what we witnessed.
The ceiling is one of the major photogenic
points of the structure, as in one area of
the building it has completely caved in, and
crumbles down covering even more cars we will
never see.
This building is definitely the most dangerous
we have ever entered for sure.
As of now, even though a full enquiry is occurring
to work out the cause of the devastating fire,
there is no answer yet.
The police haven’t ruled out an arson attack
but it could have begun from something as
simple as a lit cigarette.
'Look how bent these roof support beams are.
I've never seen anything like that!
The metal is completely twisted.'
Bent metal like this could only have been
caused by a fire.
It seemed to get progressively worse until
we reached these remnants of a car, where
we presume the fire had started.
Around this part there was also some office
spaces but they were almost no more.
The cinder block walls still stood upright
as well as a very scorched vending machine.
You could see where the support beams had
lost connection to the walls and fallen down
destroying the vehicles beneath.
At this stage of the exploration, we found
the only path able to take us into the area
of the dealership where the roof had collapsed.
Naturally we didn’t feel our safest here,
so we only stayed for a few minutes.
The collapse was absurd to see in person,
as the once sturdy metal roof had been reduced
to rubble in hours.
We can only wonder what cars lie underneath
the mess.
Towards one end of the site, there is a lot
of stuff, some of which seemed to survive
the fire.
This must have also been where the company
stored all the car keys for their vehicles
as there are hundreds sprawled over the uneven
floor.
The car that was last worked on towers over
the others on a lift, representing the sudden
demise of the property, and how unexpected
it was.
One day workers were fixing a car, the next
day it was unfixable.
As we exit the site, a final overview of the
rusting car graveyard concludes our explore.
Whether we will find anything as interesting
and unique as this again, we don’t know,
but you never know what the future might bring.
Due to the state of the dealership, the only
result can be demolition.
For now, the ruin reminds locals of a night
of terror when the sky was lit up red, and
some may have thought they might lose everything.
We hope you enjoyed a different type of video.
It is less than a week before we embark on
another trip in a new region so be sure to

see what you get up to before we upload the
videos.
