They're moving to a newer larger location. I have tentatively set a meet there for us prior to the move, but because of scheduling, we will be having a meet at the new location once they've finalized the transition.

They've had activity there that I noticed early last week. First when I drove by the big covered truck and 4-5 Lexus with other Toyota cars were in the lot. I was thinking it was a small meet. On the way back, I was going to stop by and see but by the time I had finished my lunch break, they were gone.

That place was pretty full of cars. Toyota can do a museum like Porsche or MB has. Thinking of, any been to the one outside of Nagoya, Japan?

I suppose that it's a good idea that they're moving to a larger location...This time, the cars can actually be displayed in an actual museum environment, The old location looked more like that of a wharehouse than a museum if you ask me.
