Wow, that's some unique dusty collection!
There was an auction nearby where we live, a bit similar to the link, but a smaller collection of old cars and relics etc, and the dust was lovely and thick, probably the dust protected the duco somewhat eh?
Anyhow.....nothing like that in our shed!
We have a cut up old 1983 bluebird, (used as a type of ute for the chainsaws and other tools needed to fix fences etc).
Then we have about 4 forklifts, 2 not going, 1 sort of going, and one is going okay. (do these things breed in the shed???) Grin

how did we end up with 4 of them???
I have warned the OH....gumtree...or else! Roll Eyes

But what we do have that's unique, a Holden HJ Kingswood, with trailer and skis on tow, on an island in the middle of our lake....now there's a real talking piece (questions, how did it get there?)...and we have offers for the car...but...I say.....nah, that's not worth draining the lake Grin

Not the Kingswood........

Wink

a great car . ....

I tried to buy one I found in an old garage once, the guy bought it new, put it in the garage and it remained there ... I found it 25yrs later with about 200ks on the clock, but he wouldn't part with it no matter what I offered. It still had the new car smell inside

Reply #9 - Dec 10^th, 2014 at 7:47am Nothing of great value, but in one old shed there's about 100 years of accumulated things that were kept because they might come in handy . . .and they still do . . .and I'm still adding to them. But it's such a firetrap it's a miracle it's still there.
