Hi John, I rarely post on MLU (a few posts and photos in the Gun Park). If you're having an unveiling of your Stuart, I would love an invitation to join a group of CMP / MV enthusiasts. Alas, I have no carrier or CMP (none would fit in my condo's underground parking garage) just an '86 Ferrari 328GTS, but, as an army brat in the 50's-60's, grew up with many MV's in Canada and Germany and am always keen to look at them. Although I can't recall seeing any Stuarts in Canada or Germany in the 60's, the Belgian army unit stationed nearby our base in Germany was still using carriers, half-tracks, jeeps and deuce-and-half's from WW2. BTW, I passed on your molasses tip to a buddy who, having just sold his Ferrari 348, acquired a '36 Olds coupe and a '41 Packard two door. "Car guys" can have many diverse interests! Your tip might come in handy for him. Cheers, Jon in Vancouver - I could find my way to Surrey, being a former resident. And, you're right about having no spare time in retirement.
