Figured I better start a new topic or the Mods will get their panties in a bunch. LOL!

A few more for fun - the MVPA held their national meet @ the Kentucky Expo Center in 2014 & again in 2018; just across from where our GN was held in Louisville summer 2019.

This year's MVPA National Meet will be held August 11 to 14 inside the Century Center in South Bend.  For reference, the 2004 GN was held in the Century Center Parking Lot across from the host hotel.  Guests are welcome - come see the Stuarts - entry fee charged at the door.

This is the group we often see out & about with their tanks; follow the links to see photos of their engine work/resto:

     Those are such cool vehicles/machines. There is a large collection of tanks about five miles from our place called Nokesville Tank Farm. They have several Cadillac powered tanks from WW II. They also have an open house each year in Sept or Oct (non in 2020).

     The tank at the drive in window is beyond funny.

If you are into tanks, the second best museum I have ever been in was "The Tank Museum" in Bovington Camp in Dorset, South West England. My wife even enjoyed it.  You start off at the beginning of tanks in WWI then progress through to the Gulf War.  Well worth a day trip to see.

p.s my favorite museum in the world is the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton Ohio.

There's also a cool Tank Museum in Oshawa Ontario (east of Toronto).  IIRC they have a Stuart and Chaffee.
