Title: A house with a barn
Post by jonnycab on Aug 26th, 2007, 1:13am
An American business man decided to retire to Portugal with his wife.

He bought a house at auction.

The previous owners of the house had died 15 years ago & had no children..... it was being sold to pay taxes.

It came with alot of land & a barn that had the doors welded shut.

No estate agent thought to open the barn doors & it was sold for half the market price.

When the barn doors were opened look what was found....

Johnny. That is absolutely unreal!
I am a classic car enthusiast and that is without doubt the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
Thanks a million for posting it.
I have put it in my favourites to share it with my mates.
Well done, mate. That has made my day(in fact year!).    Pat

It has been posted on here before, a while back, by someone else. But something like this is always worth re-posting  ;)

It's still an amazing collection. I for one have not seen it before and therein lies the interest.
So it's still made my day.   ;D
