Whoops, I meant to post this thread in the Sgts mess, not in WW2 military History & equipment.

Hanno (or any moderator), if you see this could you move it to the appropriate forum.

Thanks for your words of support.

Robin knows about the deal I missed last fall, and that the true number should be closer to 49. I don't get nuthin.

My view is that if one knows how many items one has in the accumulation , one does not have enough of those items in the accumulation...

Note that this philosophy on occasion requires the expenditure of a portion of the available funds in the purchase of jewelry for the much better half of the equation. Failure to invoke such a safeguard to one's behavior will almost certainly lead to a reduction in the accumulation.

YMMV

I agree wholeheartedly. A number of years back, there was a great deal in the US on front sight guards for the no4 Lee Enfield rifles, so I ordered 20. When they showed up at my US postbox, I was presently surprised to find they were all Canadian and in their original Cdn ordnance boxes of 10. So when I got home I ordered another 80. This time, the customs guy asked me what they were for. I said personal use. He then asked how many Lee Enfields did I have? I told him "that's not really the kind of thing a guy counts". I truly had no idea. And I still don't.

Hi Rob. I am guessing that you have a few lucky horseshoes hanging somewhere at your place to be able to get your hands on another MLVW. I have been keeping my eyes open out here and all I have seen are bare frames in a surplus yard or parts truck. Enjoy them!

Rob,
Remember when we were in competition for who could collect the most vehicles? Well you WON!
At least you have the property to keep all your vehicles in one spot. And one day enough buildings to store them in!

Rob;

All you need are some Iltis and LSVWs to round out that collection!

Yeah, horseshoes. The one I have currently complete was a parts truck but is now complete. The one I just dragged home is a parts truck, but I think I have most of whats needed to re-assemble it.

Yes Derk, I have enough work here for two lifetimes. I am the winner.

Some comments do not rate a response. This is one of them.
I was at an auction a year back, and Iltis's were selling from $500 to $1100. I thought of buying them to break them up, but I couldn't stand the thought of having them in my yard. People might get the wrong idea about me.

Rob,

Just curious....what would you consider selling one of your Universal Carriers for...?

Nope, they are too important for parts. The carriers will remain where they are. Sorry. Besides, if you saw them, you would understand how much work would be involved.

So thanks to the support group here on MLU, I managed to make a little headway on the "too much" problem. Not one, but two of the wife's junkers are on their way. One gone now, and one pulled from the line ready to go.
