Drove by BMW new head office which across the hiway from Honda new head office, both are under construction
Really do not know why BMW is moving ???

I don't know why BMW is moving either, but it's taking them forever. Think they're using both facilities now, aren't they?

Is Honda coming to Whitby? Had thought they too purchased land in Richmond Hill.

:light: Sorry, misread and thought you were talking about Whitby.

From what I understood (based on an article read long ago), City of Richmond Hill was giving generous tax breaks, infrastructure (clover-leaf interchanges, etc), or some sort of incentives for companies to locate there which assisted in triggering moves.

Rigggghhhht ....How much?

I hate to sy it, but this one actually looks OK - the bull bar and the light paint somehow mask the ugliness, and the raised suspension somehow adds to it all...  Like a mutant Renault Megane Scenic RX4...

Coming back from a meeting. Took the 407 at Jane ST going west.
There is a 300C on the ramp ahead of me.
As soon as we approach the overhead camera (that takes the pic of the license plate) the trunk of the car opens, someone (looked like a male) covers the license plate with their hands.
Car hits the highway, man removes hands from the license plate goes back into the trunk  and the trunk closes.
I see in my rearview mirror car pulled over and trunk opening again (probably the guy in the trunk returning back into the car)
It was done professionally so dont think it was the first time for them..

very surprising and very funny....
