Well,
I made my first trip over to the UK and Europe in November 2012. I've been aiming to get a tank for several years now. I've done my research, I have a building and space to keep and operate it in here in the USA where I live. I also have a group of people that are supporting me on this. Master mechanics, master welders, retired tank commanders, etc. I have the space and support to do this and I'm dead set on getting myself a tank.
I'm set to go to the UK for two weeks in March to make my decision. An Abbot or a BMP-1 (I know, not exactly a "tank" but I love these IFV's!)
So, I'm looking for advice on which would be the smarter decision. Yes, I'll be looking the two over very carefully to see what kind of mechanical shape their in first. However a main factor in my decision will be - how easy are parts to get and maintenance levels. So I'm looking for recommendations on the smarter choice on which to get between these two vehicles.
Thanks,
-Lee
