Astonishing!!!

[THE ICEMAN]

I was astounded to find this collection only a ten minuit drive from my house! Its not open to public (yet). This is only one small room. There are FOUR HUGE factory buildings full... Took me four hours to walk around it and thats not dawdling[:0] I understand it is the largest collection in NZ and the worlds largest collection of Packard cars. Oh and there were a few commers of various kinds in there too

Also spied an imp, Layland P74 and a couple of NSU Ro80. There is loads more i couldnt even get to. The increadible thing is this is one mans collection[:0] (and i thought i was a hoarder

Well...alright then, maybe just a little...

Definately "WOW" There has to be at least 1/2 million £'s worth of bikes there alone, when you consider a BSA goldie could set you back £15,000 on it's own.

Blimey o'Reily[:0] that's amazing. An unbelievable collection but tinged with sadness I think as most of the cars and bikes will never see the road again, I always feel like that when I walk around a museum:I
I did a double take on the third pic, thought I'd seen Martin M for a second

How refreshing

NZ, i wonder how much it would cost to get 20-30 commers over there for a few days LMAO

How dare you call it a museum, it is just a show room for motor bikes. Most of them were top of the wanted list when I was slightly younger.quote:

On the contrary panky almost all of them are road worthy. At a guess i.would say about a third would need a little work. That goes for the cars too. They all drove in there!

But will they ever drive out again:I

How refreshing
