news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/7807210.stmA classic Bugatti car, which gathered dust in a Tyneside garage for almost 50 years, may fetch up to £3m ($4.35m) when it goes under the hammer. As if that wasn't enough, they also found an Jaguar E-type and a classic Aston Martin locked up with it!

My grandad had little boats, but that was before I was born.

HUM-ina! How cool is that?
The only mouldering car I know about in the family belongs to my great uncle, and it's an old-style Panda. Tis probably near dead by now, as he hasn't been driving for years, ever since his eyes started to fail him.

Stig, I feel exactly the same about my granddad's Rolls-Royce. But I'm determined that I am going to find it one day!

I was just about to share this too!
I can't believe they are going to sell it! I wouldn't let it out of my sight!! Any of them. I hope, at least, they go to proper collectors or museums who will treat them properly and restore them properly.
