>>How would you like to have bought this property?

Imagine you're going to live in Portugal.
You find a lovely farmhouse set on a decent plot of land. The place
has been empty for 15 years...
While exploring your new property you find a large barn.
The door is padlocked and welded shut and it's all rusted solid.
So you grind the padlock and the welds off and.........

Amazing! First thing I'd do is get rid of the Taurus. Makes the
collection look cheap. It's gonna take an ocean of water to clean those
cars and a gazillion euroes to gas them up. Whoever built that
wharehouse musta been a pack-rat with cars. What great fun! Don't tell
Leno.....

Where'd you see a Ford Taurus??? If you were looking at the captions,
that's not a typo - but a 60's era Ford Taunus (named for a mountain range
in Germany I think), and was only available in Europe...There's not a car
in there newer than the 70's....Saw what looks like a 70 Oldsmobile Cutlass
in one shot too....

"Barn" hell, that's a sweet modern CONCRETE BLOCK WAREHOUSE, apparently
with a sound roof, as I see no water damage, just massive DUST. Looks like
the ultimate guy's workshop!

The Alfa Giulia SS is damned sexy, and it's always nice to have a Porsche
356 in the stable, but I don't see a Lamborghini Miura tucked in there, so
at least I don't have to change my shorts, LOL! ;')

I didn't click on the link, but if it's the stash I'm thinking of,
there's at least one 53-54 Studebaker in there, which is drop dead sexy
in a completely different way...

(I do share your opinions of Miuras however!)
