They paid eight hundred million for it and sold it for a tenner.

The owners are planning on going bust then buying it back from the receivers, they got into a lot of debt doing everything up and building the hotel (shame they didn't do the track up).

Current cars 1995 Golf gti colour concept 2.0 8v 156,000 miles. bmw 316 1.9 129,000. yeah, life's good! :rolleyes:

Think they got massively in debt when new owners took over last time. They built the big complex and hotel etc, and it doesn't get used as was expected.  :undecided:
yep. when we were there, the complex and everything was dead. must have been maybe 20 people in the whole museum complex thingy while we were there, and the only reason we went in on that day was cause 1 you got a free gokart session and 2 it was snowing  :grin:
