Has anyone else seen/been curious about the new dealership set up on site of Hyundai Outlet on Belle Isle Road in Leeds. Right next to the M621 slip road. Called FCN or some other anonymous forgettable name.

For weeks before it opened there was a series of exotica parked outside: Gallardo, F360Spyder, 996 turbo.

Strange place to set up. Does ayone know if there's a 'story' behind this???

I've been meaning to go have a look as I noticed a yellow lambo in the showroom a couple of weeks ago as I came into Leeds on the motorway.

Know where the garage is, will have a look Monday when in Leeds.

They are taking a real risk keeping so many nice cars there? Or maybe the Taliban have the security contract?

They've had the Lambo sitting outside since I posted and an Aston in the showroom. Whole setup looks dodgy to me.

Dosen't make sence this the owner is that desperate to set up he chooses a location in Belle Isle. I'm sure all his future customers will be happy travelling to this location.

Think along the lines of the Maldives.

Unfortunately now true.

The name didn't always have such ironic connotations. Originally built by the council when they cleared the slums in Hunslet. The (now)older people who moved in first thought it was paradise - proud of the neighbourhood and their new fangled inside lavatories. Shame their lives are made misery by the low life who've moved in since.

Just had a look at their website, www.fclcars.co.uk and they seem to specialise in cars for footballers. I passed the place on the way to Elland Road yesterday they did look to have some nice stuff in.

The way Leeds are going they may be better off reverting to being a Hyundai dealership.

Blimey

The website's even more amateurish than the appearance of the showroom.

I bet the locals can't really see it as they're not used to this kinda car. It'd be a mirage in the lovely Belle Isle.

Now stick some neon washers on em and a Peco big bore 4 and then you're talkin, chavs a plenty.
