Default Downsizing the collection

Hi All

got some off putting news this week, some results of tests for a bit of hearing loss and some chronic headaches has turned a bit more serious. No need to worry, all is well and in good hands but in light of this it is likely I will be thinning down the collection somewhat including some GMC M series trucks, older 5 tons, M151A2's, HMMWV's and likely some armour. Once I get things organized I will be posting items for sale on the forum, probably armour also on Dave Uhrigs site, armyjeeps.net and possibly the G503. But all items will be offered for sale on MLU first.

Best Regards
John

John, The things we surround ourselves with are never as important as our family and good health. Take care of your health, the other stuff will wait for another time.

John, good luck and sorry to hear of your news. I'm sure we all have more enthusiasm than time and health is just so important. Hope you get a good remedy and speedy recovery.

Thanks guys, I have determined in my own mind this will just be a "speedbump" along the way...definitely going to end up making a few changes, but keeping a positive outlook!

I think most of us are in the same boat .,What to do with the collection ? Can't trust the Government , The family don't want it, would like it to stay in your area for historical reasons . I have 128 tires in my yard to maintain ,so there is a cost to all of this . Museums are short of funds so in the end you have to sell things to some one that will spend time and money to look after it . Good luck .Keep a positive outlook and keep busy George
