Why'd they close up shop?

Euro market smaller, Spanish market gone (for custom builds)

Parts sale could still work, but I guess it might not be satisfying for his creativity...

Didn't they hear we are in a global economic recovery?!

I don't know the specific reasons for his decision, but I can see how a decreasing market for creative builds might hurt motivation. Maybe it's not only about money - maybe it's about keeping a playful mind moving forward...

Maybe you are right.
Maybe a quarter of their country being unemployed and deeply in debt has nothing to do with it.
Maybe.

Rumor has it that they are still going to be working with the company Arete Americanana here in the states.
