World's most jalop museum! Big photo dump. In here lies; a mint Sierra Cosworth, TVR (including the worlds oldest surviving TVR), classic French stuff, Amphicar, land speed record cars, old british weirdness, Alfa and much more. Plus some two wheelie thingies, such as a Vincent Black Shadow and moto GP racers. Been meaning to post these since July. Some of these are the wrong way up, I can't be bothered to fix them since just posting this damn near killed kinja. So just tilt your head I guess.

Epic Landau bar.

This Amphicar has definitely seen the water in it's time.

The girlfriend refused to face the camera at any point, so I got plenty of shots like this...

The seats in the DS looks so comfy.

This mock up of an old workshop smelled amazing.

Replicas of a load of Campbells record attempt vehicles.

Hope you liked it.

I think I might have more pics of that one somewhere. I didn't upload even half of what I took to prevent kinja from exploding.

It grins, because its Duroplast is filled with fibers of evil.

Not sure why the headlight surrounds got painted blue - very lazy masking? Anyway, I think it's saying something about setting a world record for 90w piddling.

No idea, a few of the cars were in questionable condition so yeah it might just be a rubbish respray job.

You had me at the Alfa grill. Everything else is just gravy.

It is a lovely looking car, perfectly proportioned.

Sweet highlighter yellow Scootacar. Too bad it's missing the badge. Where is this place?

I did not, but I did mention *once* that I might sell it, so my ex thought that meant I wanted to sell it. So she did. I had moved out, and she called to let me know she had sold it for me very happy that she had helped me out. Wait, here's the best part. "I sold your car like you wanted, and I'll have to give you the money for it later. I had to buy a new tankless water heater because my old one stopped working". Still know her, still have yet to see a dollar.

This is a very upsetting story.
