Translated the text and it basically reads "One has found a barn in Portugal that has 180 cars inside. The barn doors have been welded shut for 15 years so no-one could enter the incredible one!!"

upon further investigation:-

**From Retro Rides**

I had already seen pictures of that warehouse. I think it must have been locked during 1974 or 75, during those years, after the revolution, a lot of private property was disrespected, "stolen" by the state or "worker commitions", generaly all fortunes were confiscated, so people of capital or wealth cashed in and left the country, IŽld say someone with loads of cash decided to store the personal cars and never came back.

they have REPOST's in portugal too

even translated into english it makes no sense but good find, although some of them look to have suffered from a fair bit of rust
