Sup guys,over the weekend a few of us friends decided to take a drive to a graveyard car museum.

now its not really a museum so heres a short story so you guys can get a understanding of our experiance.


A few minutes out of town lies a medium sized farm owned and run by a retired husband and wife team with 1 French mechanic.They have collected over 300 cars over the last 35 years and each car has its own bank account.

Their hospitality was great and very encouraging and when i asked him what brand do you prefer between Honda and Vw he replied "which 1s tank is full :thumb: .

not all of the cars are mint as they are used for movies and adds.

It was pouring with rain so sorry for the crappy pics,hope you guys enjoy

That's a lot of nice cars! I'm surprised to see so many old american vehicles. Looks like SA is more friendly to importing foreign cars than the US is. :thumb:

That incomplete red car that you liked looks to be a 1972 or so Camaro:

I like too :thumb:
