[BMWCSRegistry] <WOB> This will kill a couple hours....

[Art Wegweiser]

I gave it a good try but got ill after about half way through photos 
of these immense piles rotted and rusted junk that people propose to 
work on. Relics of war to be restored? Why?- we have lots of brand 
new ones and more created every day.

Anybody is quite free to spend their time, money and talents on 
anything they somehow find fun but, short of restoring the gigantic 
Japanese battleship Yamato from the bottom of the Pacific, which 
would truly be a unique relic of history worth spending billions on, 
restoring one of thousands of old tanks thus far rates high on my 
personal list of stupidity,
What will they do with these things then?
Run at Homecoming parades tearing up the tarmac (they do - I saw it 
happen right around here).
Good way to help developers knock down old houses regardless of where 
the people who live there might go.
It's also a great way to escape the wife and kids too - "gotta work 
on the tank, today sweetie".
Anyone restoring a Coupe may be a nut case but anyone attempting to 
restore a Sherman tank is a potential psychopath.  Surely somewhere 
in a barn is a nice Sherman in good shape or in Germany an even 
better Tiger.
