Think you have too many projects?

The message from Willy Eckerslyke contains these words:

Looks like a typical farm to me. Too far from a scrapyard to make it worthwhile throwing anything away and plenty of space for junk (1% of which just might be of some use some day). :-)

What you really want is a photograph of the garden filled with 49 Trabants that was subject to an enforcement order not too long ago. I can find several news reports on-line but unfortunately not a photo.

Yes, I'll bet that's how the collection built up. I'd reckon that nowadays there's some value there though. Old tractors like those are fetching serious money and there's a scrap metal place within 20 miles for the real junk.

According to the chap I was talking to a couple of weeks ago who knew the Trabants' owner, they're still there. He claimed that they're not an eye-sore at all as they can only be seen by standing on top of a wall - hence, presumably, the lack of photos.

This one was a bit more extreme, with 300 cars, mostly 2CVs:

May not be the ones, but it's the right village
