If you took short rides in all the cars in a barn as part of the tour the tour could last a week!
LOL I was just thinking similar.
If I brought out the books and went over the cars individually but in detail, it could take weeks to get through them all.
At the rate of one every week, it'll be YEARS before even I drive them all, especially considering I have been wintering in Virginia. I've got about 200ish cars, a few more than that.
I have like four of 'em that I won't have for much longer - probably. We've found buyers for some, at a good profit even.
LoL if you go through everything you could be there in each one for a month! Or more! You could really spend one whole day on each car if you wanted to!
It is going to take you a damned long time to spend a week with each vehicle.
Those profits will keep your mechanics funded!
A whole day would be a bit much for some of them. To use the FJ as an example, I have a lot of them. (Toyota Land Cruiser - FJ, also Troopy, etc.)
So, with the first one, the oldest one, I could go through the history of making it and stuff like that - which would take maybe 20 minutes. Then, there are differences (mostly adding some creature comforts in some areas, like powered windshield wipers) and I could explain those, but you'd be pretty bored after about an hour.
I own a Nissan Altima... I'd be hard pressed to make that last more than an hour, and that'd be just explaining Nissan's heritage and probably spending a quarter of that time explaining Datsun to someone who doesn't know better. The Altima is parked alongside a couple of 280z examples, so I could tie those in.
I just can't stretch it to a full day with each vehicle, never mind a full week.
But, yeah... It could take a long, long time to get through the whole collection.
I'm pretty sure I've sat in every one of them. At the very least, I've touched all of them. I haven't even seen the engine in some of them.
