I sense an interesting story of an amazing journey here... Please share with us in the showcase so we can enjoy it too.
Thank you for sharing this with us... And I agree with everyone else; Yes for submission.
Well it all started on my recent trip to the Crimea when I stumbled into bunker in the port city of Sevastopol.........
Awh who am I trying to kid, found this one on the GB trader one Saturday afternoon, about 5 minutes after it was posted. I wanted it but had just spent some serious coin on another sniper scope ( which is still in transit) and the boat insurance renewal, which meant my Fun Funds where a little low. Well the wife walks into my man cave, see's it on the computer and asks " how much ? " well after telling her the price she asked " and you haven't said "I'll take it" and that is the story on this gem,..................
THE WIFE Made me do it !
OR AT LEAST THATS MY STORY AND I'm STICKING TO IT !

I remember a while back that your collection cost you a new Mustang for the wife. Buick just came out with a new convertible model just in case you need something.

It was a new Camaro and as of December it was 4 years old with a whooping 2,300 miles on it.
