Tim Stansmore\xa0went from cats to classic cars in his retirement.\nTim built a successful “Cattery” during his working career. What is a “Cattery”? Good question because I didn't know either until I listened to this interview. A Cattery is a boarding establishment for cats. Tim didn't just build any cat boarding facility, this was the Taj\xa0Maj Hal for cats. Ironically, Tim is allergic to cats.\nTim and Henry talk about some of the hilarious stories of the owners of the cats. Tim says in the interview, if he was to write a book, it would be on the cat's owners and not the cats themselves.\nSo how does Tim go from cats to classic cars?\nAfter 10 years, Tim sold\xa0his business and\xa0bought a property on the east side of Melbourne Australia. The property\xa0came with a garage, a huge shed, and an aircraft hangar. This would end up being perfect for him\xa0to store his many classic cars and motorcycles.\nThis guy knows his stuff when it comes to cars and motorcycles!\nTim and Henry talk about they many cars and bikes he has collected including a 1926 Model T Ford, 1930 Model A Ford, 1971 Lancia Fulvia\xa0and many more. Tim likes to buy cars, restore them and then trade or sell them for a small profit. Unless he gets attached to a car and cannot bear to part with it once it is finished. However, for Tim, it's not really about the money. It's about saving the cars.\nOld cars and motorcycles are Tim's passion. It is a lot of work but as Tim says “if you enjoy what you are doing, it's not really a job”.\nTim\xa0tells a story of a car he bought and sold the same day. He owned the car for a total of 15 minutes and made a decent profit from it.\nSo what's next for Tim?\nHe is going to sell off\xa0his fleet and buy more of course! His real passion is old English Motorcycles and that is what he plans on focusing on in the future.\nDo you have a story about cars or bikes? Do you have a story about cats?
