Quite the find.

I would have loved it twenty years ago.

Now I would just sell it all off.

My friend Rick. The drunk I've talked about before, that owns the custom car upholstery shop.

The 49 Cad he did the interior in was just in a show in Portland. I guess it took all the top honors in all the classes.

They came home with something like 16 trophy's.

I guess you know that their heads were filling the motor home.

Some people just have too much money to do the wrong things with. I know for a fact that they don't care about starving people and wars.

Only themselves.

kat: dunno still looking for the whole story.

infinitesimal: sure am!


brandon: you ain't kiddin.

ryan: I'm just amazed at all that stuff crammed in there.

annie: About a third of those cars I would love restored. The rest I would have to sell in order pay for the work on the rest.

BBC: If the finder isn't a car guy he will make at least 5 or 6 million at auction as is.

jenny: some are worth a fortune, some are just interesting to collectors. I can see Jay Leno buying up the whole lot of em.

crusader: some of those Alfa Romeos are tugging at my heart strings.

Kateykakes: Indeed. Better than the lottery.

Dr alistair: I want to read the real story on this find.

Lexcen: Wouldn't that be a bitch?lol

As those pics loaded, I thought, "Jeez, they found the Jay Leno of Portugal!" If I pick up a Popular Mechanics, his column is one of the few I check out.

kirsten: heck I would be happy rummaging under the seats and in the trunks.

mattexian: me too. he is a good car writer.

Damn, you'd have thought the realtor or former owner (whatever the story) would have checked out the barn! gives me inspiration: Sometimes dealing with idiots is beneficial. The glass is half full, afterall!!!

half full, half empty?

wrong glass?

i`m suprised that nobody looked in the barn either.

I'm not really a car person but even I'd be thrilled if I opened the barn and saw that!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That kinda stuff always happens to other people. Last thing I would do is take pictures of everything and put it on the internet; I'd be afraid of who might show up and want something back or to steal them.

That would be cool to find though.

nomas: lazy realtor lol

yvonne: yeah, like ed mcmahon showing up at the door with that big check.

Dr Alistair: Knowing some of my friends they would have bitched because the cars were dusty.

JAM: Some lucky bastard's ship came in that's for sure.
