teletech Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hello there. My name is Pavl, I work for the university of California as a telescope technician and I've just been bitten by the armour bug in earnest. I've owned a few MVs over the years: A Ford GPW which was too small, a M35 which was too big, and a M37 which was a good size but somehow cursed. I had sold a few cars off recently and a friend sends me a link and says you must need something here, it's the link for the Littlefield auction happening right near where I live. I was amused but didn't seriously consider going as I had to work and then just the night before the auction I decided I just had to check out this once in a lifetime collection! Between not having time to do research and move money and just being intimidated I came come empty-handed but with a need for some armor. I sat in a few things that day that were completely irrational to even consider but also a few things that I thought might work for me. CVR(T) Samson Ferrett MK2 Hochkiss 22-2 M113-1/2 Lynx Dragoon AFV So, now I'm on the prowl for the most expensive, least useful vehicle I'll likely ever own and since I seem drawn to British armour of course I landed here. I've spent many hours pouring over relevant posts and owe you all a great deal of thanks for your informative contributions to these forums and hope the barrier of a common language won't make me sound any more uninformed than I actually am. Also: yes, I will never forgive myself for letting some of thoes olive-drab lovelies go so cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick007 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Welcome. I live in California as well. very far north inland from Eureka on hwy 299. The wheeled versions of armor are the easiest to move around. I have a Scorpion CVRt and a Abbot. I move them with Equipment trailers. needs Class A licenses. if you get a ferret or halftrack. you can pull them around on a car trailer with a big enough pickup. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
