Collecting or Hoarding?
I fancy myself as a HUP collector, but I could also be seen as a HUP hoarder. My observations:
Both categories obtain vehicles. Both categories "save" some of said vehicles from oblivion. Both categories involve considerable effort and cost. I tend towards the collector category as this is my only real hobby, but my wife thinks otherwise. By definition hoarding as a human behavior falls in to two main categories. One type of hoarding is triggered as a response to perceived or predicted shortages of specific goods. Compulsive hoarding, on the other hand, is a mental disorder marked by an obsessive need to acquire and keep things, even if the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. OK, so my dear wife may have a point. So? What's the difference? Is there a set number of vehicles that make you a "collector"? How do you earn the "hoarder" sorbriquet?

After watching all of these new "Reality" Hoarding Shows on TV lately, IMO if you don't need to negotiate your way through parts to cook a meal or use the toilet, your golden in my books

Mr Hup
In the english language, they refer to "first person "second person" and "third person" or "me" "you" and "them".
Its a bit like that. If I am talking about you, "I" am a collector and "you" are a hoarder. If I am talking to you, "we" are collectors, and "they" are bloody hoarders!

Hamilton Barn Reality Show
I've always said thought the Hamilton Barn would make a good Reality Show.
What could we title it? I survive the Hamilton Barn MVMVC the untold survivor of a victim of " Military Vehicle Mycosis Very Contagious", which is a sub group of "Multiple Vehicle Mycosis Very Contagious" (MVMVC is an inside joke that Bob may get.) But would it have a big enough following? Cheers Phil
