Well I'm still here in China driving my PLA Jeep everyday. :-)
And now for the good stuff.
I have just purchased the entire VICTORY AT SEA Series for the everyday
low price of 65 RMB, so for fellow collectors that equates to $7.89.
hours upon hours of WWII Vehicles from British to Japanese to German to
American. If anyone ever had a question about a uniform or a vehicle it
would be answered by simply sittting down with a case of Qing Dow Beer
and watching the series. I must say that as a child I would watch this
on T.V. with my Grandfather but was not aware of the significance and
correctness of the films. Now relaxing in the comfort of my
Airconditioned town house on the big screen of my SONY I am able to
watch and appreciate the gifts that the generation before us has given.
America as we know it was truely handed down by our forefathers, those
that were unafraid or able to deal with there fear, who had a vision for
the future.
What is that vision now????
Anyway every time you come in contact with a WWII vet you should thank
him or her for the world as it is today.
Watch this and restore the vehicles as they were.
Also I'm sorry to here of the demise of DRMO and the installlation of a
contractor. I remember the days of the open Auction at Picatinny Arsenal
and the fun of bidding for my AMMO cans and Trucks in the open with
everyone present. Then the days of the sealed bid and the time I won a
bid from George Mineri of Vermont Commercial Salvage for .01, that's
right, I won a bid for ONE CENT!!!! :-) . WWhheeeeeeewwwwww
Thats all over now but keep 'EM Rolling.
Remember MONEY TALKS.......AND BULLSHIT WALKS!!!!!
I'm on the side, keeping an eye on you all.
