again?? really??

[funkypete]

Spot the difference competition??

[paulob1]

as I said at the top of the list just the BRDM to add....but actually I had forgotten my Brush electric bomb tug and the Leviathan, royal navy heavy tug...amazing little vehicle, only a 1300 ford engine and yet with its ultra low gearing will pull tens of tons of heavy vehicle...so I am told anyway...

[Abrs]

Damn Paul! When are you gonna get some pictures on? Has your mechanic resigned yet?

[duncan]

Has your mechanic resigned yet?

Just one? I think if he has only 1 mechanic, by the time he finished checking oil on all vehicles, it's time to start over again. Let alone fix anything

[paulob1]

Well i have two mechanics trained, my son helps and I have a member of staff who when not doing other stuff helps out...but your right the collection is getting to the point where i will need a body work specialist and engine specialist and other helpers...need the final site yet...am looking for somewhere in earnest. I have 500-600,000 to spend on the right site, biut it is not going to be easy to find round here...I look everyday but they are like hens teeth...

[paulob1]

facebook, the coldwar collection, without the spaces...lots of piccies, and you tube

[Abrs]

Cheers, I'll have a nose later on

[Vannguard]

Speaking if the cold war, looks like Withams is selling a MK10 Chieftain Main Battle Tank, direct from cold war reserve stock, in there latest tender.

I wonder how much one of those would go for!?!
