Rather impressive "vertical" car showroom

I hope this is not a repost!

I spotted this impressive engineering on my way to a client in Gateshead. It is basically a glass/steel tower filled with cars. Apparently, the cars are raised up on hydraulic lifts. This is the first one in the UK, but I can see these becoming popular.

What do my fellow PH’ers think of it?

Although those cars are a little nicer to look at (!!) I still think the Mazda building looks more impressive - especially as there are glass walls and you can see right through to appreciate how tight/cramped it is to shuffle the cars around.

There might have been acres of room to slide those Fezzas in to position, as the wall behind them could be concealing anything.

Why...?

Because I wanted to be first on the scene with this seemingly excellent find! I expected that sharp-eyed PH'ers may have spotted this a few days before and posted on here for discussion. This would lead to the absolute and crushing ridicule of a PH'er re-posting something that has already been shown, thus exposing himself as a "plastic PH'er" that checks for updates less than once per day.
