I posted this link in the 'brake pad' thread but I am not sure how many are following that one, so I thought I would re-post it here.
Here's a link to a slide show of friend's car museum. It's evident I don't have the photo skill of many who post here and because of all of lighting there's a lot glare in many of the pictures but it gives you a feel of his place. Beginning next summer he plans to extend his 'long street' by double and then T-it off at the end with another street, complete with an A&W restaurant. And still he will have more cars than room.
I should mention his daily driver at home is 2008 BMW M3 Z4 coupe and his daily driver at his cottage up north is (drum roll) a Honda S2000. He also has a large barn up there full of cars. It's rather unreal what he adds to the collection every year. In just this past summer he got the XKE tin top, the Caterham Super 7, a Morgan (not sure I even got a photo of that, a Turner racecar that is being restored, the actual cut-in half Bugeye that up in the ceiling, and a couple others. What I really like about him is he never brags, 95% of his cars are not concours but are drivers (when he can find the space to pull them out), and you can tell he does it purely for his own enjoyment. The detail to period things in the various little shops, etc. is amazing ... as are his plans. He has an amazing collection of British model cars for the toy store he plans for his street.

Photos from the The International Cat Association (TICA) Cat Show I went to on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014 in Arcadia, California. I loved seeing all the different cats. I'm a cat lover, anyway, but I saw cats I'd never heard of before.
^A Toyger: Toy Tiger! New breed that I'd never heard of but noticed the stripes of when it was laying in it's cage. I talked to the owner and learned about it. This was it being judged.
...and a few more...

Patty, very nice photos of all of the cats.
We have never had a cat, although we have had many dogs throughout the years.
We just recently became "grandparents" to a little kitten, though.
Our daughter's co-worker found a kitten under the hood of her car, so our daughter took the kitten home, and he is now a member of their family. His name is K.C. (Casey) for KitCat, to go along with their little dog Reese or Reesie (as in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, because of her coloring.)
We were once taking care of Reese, soon after we got back from a little trip. I had not unpacked everything yet, and I guess Reese thought my tote bag made a nice little bed.

Cool kitties, Patty. Is the grey/black marbled one a bengal of a different color? And what is that white skinny one with fur like a sheep?
