Vancooper/Anyone: What is the reason for them losing the franchise? What will happen to everyone at BJF?? I can't picture Stu selling Kias.. Hopefully everything will be sorted out soon, & isn't Stuart a member here at FC? BJF was the best all around dealership I have ever visited.

Well guys, I think that the curtain has fallen on Brian Jessel Ferrari. I just drove by there 30 minutes ago and there was no sign outside by the gate anymore and the sign on the front side of the dealership said "MY KIA"...instead of the usual Brian Jessel Ferrari. So yes, Brian Jessel has lost the Ferrari franchise! And perhaps this is why they were telling us they weren't geting any Enzo's, they knew they were geting shut down but decided to give the non-compliance DOT/EPA reason!

I've heard from different sources that it may also damage the BMW dealership in Coquitlam as well! Hopefully somebody will pick up the Vancouver Franchise and start fresh...

Either a Dino 246 GTS, Daytona, or at the other end of the spectrum, 360

I was at Brian Jessels today salivating over a yellow/black 360 6-speed coupe. beautiful!

Hi Kuzi,

I sold it about a month and a half ago. I wasn't driving it very much and my wife is after me for a minivan. She says I can have another Ferrai in the next two years (hopefully sooner).

Hi Gary,

Roy and I will definitely be there from the Vancouver club. David Handa and I have communicated on this as well. Can't wait to meet you guys!

Even though I'm Ferrari-less at the moment...:-(

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you B.C. folks when our Seattle group comes up to Vancouver for the Italian Car Show on June 15th! I understand that both our F-clubs are having dinner at the Brock House Restaurant once again the night before the show.

I haven't heard of this either. They are supposed to be moving into a larger (and better location) facility next year...

I've recently heard from 2 independant sources that Brian Jessel has lost this franchise. Has anyone else heard about this? Don.
