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...

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.
