Always have been fascinated by armor. Spent the past 20 years restoring / maintaining personal vehicles as a hobby (71 Cuda , 47 dodge COE , 71 IH Scout, 21 Fordson, 1918 Walter Snow Fighter, etc.) and my finances are finally at a point that I can start seriously considering real armor. Ive done a fair bit of internet research over the past few years and never miss a Collings foundation open house 
over the the past year Ive narrowed my search. I want tracks vs wheels. I like manuals in English. I dont like dealing with pre-war hardware. I want it to fit in my barn and not crack the cement floor. I like readily available parts bought from someone who speaks English . Etc. etc. So, that landed me on the cvrt family of vehicles. Specifically the fv103 spartan apc (Simplifies the demil). My next stop, and reason for finally jumping on here, is to get more into the knowledge of ownership vs vehicle stats and features and to link up with people online and in person to really get first hand knowledge of these machines and learn about what is involved in obtaining, importing, transporting and maintaining.
So, if you are within a couple hours drive from Southern NH and dont mind me coming by and hearing what you have to say on the subject, please let me know!
thanks,
mike
