My T16 Carrier

Andrew:

Earlier this week I warned fellow forum member Gilles, who impulsively and quite (w)recklessly bought a 1953 M38A1 CDN 1, that he needed to find the nearest medical clinic and get a vaccination against 'the green disease'. You too better get the shots before you lose all your spare time to this board poring over other fellow's postings and squandering your youth. Gilles defended himself by saying he already has a yard full of big old green trucks, and that he is beyond redemption because his wife talked him into the purchase. [I blame it on nationalized health care and poorer quality service delivery outside the main centres.]

But ... as a second generation habitue of another hobby, I will agree that perpetuating a family heirloom is a worthy investment. A shooting acquaintance said it very well, 'We don't own these things; we just take care of them for the next generation.'
