Easy Gee Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hi. I thought I would introduce myself, my name is Gary , I'm 41 years young,and I have been collecting Militaria since I was about 12,but I have took some time out,over the years what with with marriage kids mortgages etc:D I would like to think I'm layed back and don't take myself too seriously,and as a result I have a bit of a whacky sense of humour, I love my collecting, but lifes too short to take things too seriously I guess. My main Interests are Clothing and equipment, I have an extensive collection of Helmets,the vast majority of these being US M1's. I have a large collection of Brit kit, and over the last few years have been heavily involved in collecting US and Brit kit,from Gulf War 1/Op Granby right through to Gulf war 2 and the recent conflicts in Afghanistan.So anything from WW2 right through to today!! If it's old school trops,Falklands kit, Gulf war , and of course M1 lids etc,etc...I love it, and obsessively collect it:nut: Sadly I do not own any military vehicles,as my budget will not allow it,so hopefully this ok,as I appreciate the main interest here is vehicles.. but maybe if I win the lottery,I would love to own a Landie and spends many hours/probably years restoring it back to it's former glories!! Can't really think of anything else to say really other than I hope to have a bit of a laugh,and share and learn new stuff on this forum!! Thanks in advance Gary;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Hunter Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hi Gary, I'm a new boy as well! I also have a healthy interest in Militaria - but hard to fit everything in with work and family. I must be having a mid life crisis as i have decided to restore a Scorpion CVRT - its coming apart well - not sure if i can remember how to put it back together though - time will tell.

Big ray Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Welcome to the forum, you do not have to own a military vehicle, just join one of the clubs (MVT or IMPs etc) you will be made very welcome, and its a good opportunity to experience the show scene, plenty of members would be happy to have you share a little of the fuel costs to go to the shows.... it does not have to be expensive, and you will see what sort of vehicle appeals to you, those that look good are not always the best to operate and drive. :kissoncheek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting point ,I'd not considered before...food for thought:-) Many years ago my brother owned a Duece and a half, ( at least I think that's what it was,it was definetly US anyway) thinking back now,I'm gutted he got rid of it...oh,well that's life,cheers for the tip's :goodidea: Gary.
