barn yard

Not certain of the authenticity of this but some good photos anyway.
Apparently a deceased estate.

A couple buys the farm the barn doors are welded shut (I have a pic of this but it will not post).
They cut the doors and inside the collection to die for.

Re: barn yard

Suspected that.

I estimate it would take about a year to pump all the tyres up.

Re: barn yard

we had a similar story here in milano 2 years ago.
The owner of a big radio network had some law problems cause his second business was the sale of weapons to third world countries.
italian police arrested him and immediately after they open to pubblic the place where all the items were saved for an eventual resale.

Here is the link of what they found (it is official police website) .Try click on auto and moto, u probably will not see the images, but still the names of the items found:

Proc. pen. n. 31034/03 R.G.N.R. Mod. 21
