Friend of mine is opening up his own workshop, asked me over to take a look today. Went down, opened up the huge doors to reveal something I wasnt expecting....

The red Charger, Black V12 thing and Oldsmobile are in the dusty old barn like building and are to be moved as this is where his workshop is going to be and ramps going in etc. The others are dotted around the building - car porn everywhere.

The bikes are amazing, all look handmade as not branded. The Renault - never seen one of these up close, nice bit of kit, carbon bonnet etc

Nice looking cars. I assume the Renault is an R26R or whatever they're called.

I think that Chevelle has been for sale recently.

Private collection, car mad wealthy man - I could have spent hours there, every room you walked into was something interesting. Also a yard full of cars out back that havent moved for years, I spotted a V12 750i about 2" deep in dirt and 4 flat tyres - although up close is in very good condition, also spotted a very old Audi Coupe WR in a bit of a state rotting away in a corner frown

The bikes are something else, I am not a bike man but these things are amazing - very much like WestCoast Chopper style, all look unridden.

A few of the cars appear to be for sale by the seller, including an R26R

From the big "442" on the back I'm guessing it's an Oldsmobile 442. wink
