Translation:
A warehouse with 180 cars in the interior has been in Portugal, this permanecio 15 years with the welded doors so that nobody could enter the incredible one.

I would love to find out more about this happened. Who put these away and why? Why were these ones collected? Who finally got back in there? There are some very valuable and not very valuable cars in there. The newest one looks like the VW superbeetle or the 1971 Olds Cutlass sedan with air in its tires.

Wouldn't it be great to have been the first person to go inside and see this, after all this time?

Let's hope more information is made available here, it is kind of like an archeological-type of discovery. It looks like a lot of currently running and licensed cars were just put inside that warehouse and just left there, and yet still in a very built up part of Lisbon. Amazing.

Yeah those are my pics. I just bought some property in Portugal and it had that big barn, so I checked it out and took some pics.

If you see anything cool in there that you like, just let me know. Otherwise they're all get sent to the scrap yard next week, they're mostly junk anyway.

That's AMAZING!

Don't send them to the Scrapper, someone will buy the lot, I think you have a Gold Mine. I think I even saw a Borgward, in there. Good Luck.

I have a real nice bridge if you are interested. It is in NYC and it even connects Brooklyn to Manhattan.
I can let you have it for 50,000.

Great!!! OK guys I need a Co-signer(s).

On the bridge, I have options on some closed GM plants, in Saginaw. How about a trade?
