My Fathers New Factory, My New Playground

My father has just recently moved all his machines from one factory to another one in completley opposite sides of the city. He does plastic bags and other recyclable plastics to sell to stores and whatnot. He likes being his own boss, and I like looking at all the machines working in harmonious pops, swifts, and warm auras. The place where he was at was going to be sold due to the sudden value of the terrain, and he decided to change to this old factory that belonged to his father. My grandfather had a water purification plant in which he gave all of the city a modernization from going to lagoons and having tankers at home to taking water tanks to their houses. It was called "Tri-Pura Water". The business reached amazing success, and on the streets you see here, about 100 Trucks parked and left to deliver water to every house in the city with hundreds of employees giving a hand. Over the years competition came into play, and it was left with about 10 trucks and nowhere near as much clients. My grandfather passed away, and these places where left to his family.

But this is not only my fathers new workplace. It has become my new playground, where I can be literally hours looking for random truck parts and is always surprised at what I find. Ford Trucks, Chevy Truks, Dina Trucks, pickup trucks all of them scattered around as well as some of their organs ready for me to find them. Check the photos out, and see what I mean by my playground in this fascinating place.

As I toured with my father he told me that as a kid he would come here and play with all the trucks around. It was sad seeing all what my grandfather had achieved turned into mere rusting metal, but I will try and give these parts of family history the appreciation they deserve. I already have started my plan for the several engine blocks I found such as the one in the fifth picture, in short, its going to be awesome.

For now, I just want to play around with stuff, since some of the parts still are used as spares for the 10 trucks that still work. But good suggestion

Hey Um this si going to sound free-loaderish but can I come down and sleep in an old truck and try to get them all running in exchange for one?

Sweet I can't come down now but hopefully in the future. If you want I can give you advice over the internet on how to fix some so you can tow Oliver when he breaks.
