So there is a guy I know that has bunch of cars in his back field and around his two pole barns. I have known him for over 10yrs now and just these past few I was finally allowed to go see what he has. I have helped him clear a path or two to the woods were most of his 80+, yes the is right 80+ cars are. Sadly they are all junk with afew exceptions that are in the pole barns, but the racoons have done a nice job of Fing them up also. He is now getting on in years and is slowly clearing out the "JUNK" as he puts it.

He allowed me yesterday to come out and look at two of the three 914's he has and take a few pictures. He has two 74's and a 76. One 74 is a bumblebee LE that is trashed, but in the pole barn. I have asked many times about it and he is going to fix it up some day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Anyway here is 4762902482 & 4742907368 these cars are trashed. The 76 has a 2.0L engine & trans, but I am not sure how I would even get the car out to pull these. ANd yes that is a 58 MGA, a couple of older sprites and BMW 2002 and I think an Alpha. Anyway first up is:

What is sad is I know what is in those two pole barns. It is a damn shame at one time they were great race cars and collectible cars, now they are junk with a few good parts.

His front barn is better with a nice bunch older british cars that are not trashed, but need work none the less. He has a guy that is working on them and helping sell them off. I was involved a few years ago, but had a falling out with the "repair guy" over him screwing the owner of these cars and stealing. I spoke my mind to him and the owner about what was going on. I felt it was better to just part ways and let them deal with these cars.

I do see him once or twice a month and he will offer any Porsche parts he finds hidden away to me for a fair price. Sometimes I buy them and sometime I just list them for him on ebay and such and pass the $$ along to him. He is a great guy and I enjoyed going there looking at the old cars and hearing his stories about them. I will keep you guys posted, maybe he will let me take some pictures of his pole barncar collection some day.
