For the armor (or armour) fans out there.

I was going through some old photos and dug this up:

Sadly, it's not my garage, but there are some gems in it. ;)

That's just a small part of the whole collection & it actually isn't in the U.K. I'll have to dig out the rest of my pics to do it justice. It's probably the best collection outside of Bovington & it blows Aberdeen away.

These are all part of Jacques Littlefield's private collection in Portola Valley, CA. He was totally dedicated to restoring AFVs & established the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation .

Pretty much everything in the museum runs & the interiors have been brought back to original condition. We were lucky & got to basically climb in/around everything on the property. On that note, WW2 English tanks are designed to be crewed by underfed 16-year olds. I've never crawled through a smaller hatch. ;D

Man, I wish that were my garage. This is open to the public?

They apparently do public tours now through registration on the website I linked. Well worth a visit for any armor buffs in North America imo.
