Sweet jumping jesus, there must be at least €10 million worth of bus there in just that present condition.

It looks more like an industrial unit than a "barn".

Why didn't the idiot who put the cars in give tham a good spray of oil first?!?

Yeah, strange that. Lidl/Aldi Porsche/Mercedes.:D

whilst exploring your new property you find a large barn in the trees

Eh look at the size of the barn. Fair enough if it was found in the middle of the Amazon rain forest but that wasn't found under a few trees.
Lucky bastard anyway. I'll take the Copper S thanks.:p

If you sell your house to me, can I take your car(s) also?

Potentially the auctioneer has made a boo-boo, but maybe not.

Dust covers wouldn't have gone astray.

Back in the 1980s, a friend of mine worked for a while as a gardener in an estate outside Drogheda owned by an elderly lady. He wasn't much into cars but told me that there was a garage at the rear and it was full of old top end cars - Rolls, Bentleys, Mercs etc. that were not in use. I've often wondered if they are still there. I'm sure the lady is long dead.

Are you asking if we think that they were stolen OR if it would be possible to steal them?
