Yes, except mine is about two weeks old.

I took a fellow member home.  You will forgive me if I leave out
personal and geographic details.

He lives in a medieval farm - house and three barns in a square, with
no external apertures except a pair of huge solid oak doors.  Inside
it's almost a stately home - a huge house on one side, and three barns
on the others.  The barns are _full_ of old cars.  Names I only know
from books.  One of the world's two surviving Schneiders.  A Model T
Ford delivery truck, donated to the war effort in 1915 and converted
into a bus by adding half a half-track's rear suspension and hooking
it via chains to the original rear axle.

Several Porsches, including a 'famous' 356.  Two E-type Jaguars, a
Jensen, a Maserati, one end of a barn described as "the Ferraris",
a Triumph 2000 (it goes from the sublime to the ridiculous). A
Lagonda.  An Austin four-litre (yes, they _DID_ build one).

And a 20V ur-quattro.
