Default Dont Worry be Happy

Just focus on what you can safely restore.

If a truck or landy goes to the scrap so be it. If you didn't know about it, would you care? (If an axle falls in the smelter, does anybody hear?)

I am sure we all would have loved to be standing in 1946 at the post war auctions, cashed up and ready to buy every vehicle we saw. Hmm what a great idea!!!!!!!! Do we do that with modern war vehicles?

I know of no-one who ever did this here in Aust. No one did because they were busy trying to do other things. Some bought a few vehicles, but very few had the luxury of many trucks and equipment.

Dont worry about what vehicles are destroyed; worry about what you can restore and show. It is always a good myth about ANY vehicle that has not been 'captured' for restoration, but is it better than your own vehicle on display and then chatting to others about that elusive find in a paddock? (Isn't that what we do here?)

Farmers are practical people. They very much know that what they buy, they use. They have one luxury I dont. Space. Most struggle to pay the bills feed their family and get a decent car; A truck is bought for a purpose, not as a toy or a project its to pay the bills and help in the tasks.

You see, if we all had farms we would all have a lot of stuff. Your real estate govens the hordeing ability.

Hmm out to my meagre 2 car garage!
