Default collectors

Glad to see that I am not the only one w/more hobbies/collecting interests than good sense!!!!!!!! I have 2 aluminum front end factory built 1962 Pontiac drag race cars........still race them. In fact, I am just now rebuilding one of the engines that lost a head gasket last season (15 to 1 compression!!!!). Had 2 of the '63 1/2 Galaxie fastbacks w/4 speed and 427/425 hp high riser side oilers, and the first and second '63 Pontiac drag cars that had the Swiss cheesed frames, plexiglas windows and aluminum front end. Sold them too soon but managed to pay off my then new house (1984). I did keep the only aluminum frame GM ever made. I also have a bunch of wall & mantle clocks and pocket watches, and a small group of model airplanes that I havnt flown in many years. I do get to run my train layout as I get several father/son teams here to look at stuff. I have a 25 MM Pateau in my garage (I once thought all 2 car garages came w/an artillery piece) and a full size replica Gatling w/250 rnd Accles drum. We have a 400 hp, 16' water ski boat we still use. Also have a collection of tea sets and at one time I had a group of baby dolls.................You guys are all welcome to visit when in SE Ohio......... No machine gunners here????????? My wife dearly loves machine guns. We are going to shoot at Marietta, Ohio on the 16th of June. Machine gun guys always shoot their guns where most Luger guys dont. Guns occasionally break and I have broken a few $30,000. machine guns........
