  | "Lucky Bastard" Read this, then click on the link. Make sure you're wearing your diapers.  ok, so imagine you live in portugal and your moving house. you find a lovely farm house set in a decent plot of land. the place has been empty for 15 years! whilst exploring your new property you find a large barn in the trees. the door is padlocked shut and its all rusted solid. so you grind the padlock open......... - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |

| Re: "Lucky Bastard" Very cool collection. It's unfortunate that someone allowed all of those cars to rot for the last 15 years, though... |

| Re: "Lucky Bastard" My question is, How could these cars have been forgotten? Didn't anyone know about this? Amongst the cars were two classic Mercedes 300 "Adenauers" . Rare cars today, and here we have two in abismal condition.   |

| Re: "Lucky Bastard" I suppose they were owned by some guy who didn't have a family, or didn't keep contact with them. When he passed on... Anyways, many beautifully-restored classic cars were once "barn-finds" in a condition far worse than most of the cars in those pictures. There's no need to worry, I'm sure most of those cars will be restored to their former glory.  |

| Re: "Lucky Bastard" Someone just left all those cars there? That must have been a lot of money back in the days. I guess the original owner must have passed away and didn't have anyone to pass these cars on... you don't just "forget". |
