Seems like they sold a ton of cars to me - tons of people on base are driving new BMW's and Mini's, lol. And then I heard that you used to be able to drop off your car in Rota for home delivery when you PCS'ed back Stateside. Then for a while I guess they didn't have a contract with any carriers in Spain at all. Shortly before I left, they announced that they would be able to send cars out through Madrid, so that's how mine got out.

Ya seems like they do plenty of business to me. I am an airforce guy actually and you know here at rota our command is very small. Just in my command alone theres about 20 or 30 people with new bmws from there. Then not to mention the rest of the navy people that buy em. Ya aparently james was into some on the side stuff was the impression I got. So this time they sent down the general manager from germany to run the place.
