Then there's a guy in Castroville with a large metal building that must have
50-60 cars, including a Lambo, a Roller, Bristols, TVRs, Jags and the usual
motley assortment of MGs, Fiats and whatnot. Not concours, not necessarily
running...put a padlock on the door and leave it for 20 years and you've got
the Portugal situation...

Just thinking, there must be a lot of these hoards around, if we can name
three or four of them in central/northern California alone.
