So where is it, how much, will they deliver and do they take Mastercard? Don't tease me, Man!! In my dreams I live on one of those. Would that be cool, or what?

I will admit that it has a certain alluring weirdness about it. It's still fashionable to live on canal boats and barges here in the UK (not so common in Scotland though..with fewer canals). I could imagine how you would surprise the neighbours if this Schlepper shook off it's boat disguise, like a 'Transformer', and emerged from the Grand Union Canal (site of many barges and houseboats) in Central London..now that would be cool...it would start off like this:

Have a think about how many 'bad' H/L Tiger 1's there are in circulation now, and they still sell, put that against a 'good' other version of any mark................simple capitalist economics I'm afraid.

It makes me laugh that Tigers accounted for something like 0.2% of all of the armour produced during WW2, yet seem to account for 50% of the RC market. No love for the Matilda, Valentine, Stuart, SU-76M?

If actual production numbers are anything to go by, we should be swamped by T34s. Over 84,000 produced, compared with 1300 Tiger 1s. Admittedly, T34 production continued till 1958.

True but would you rather have a Volkswagen Beetle or a Lamborghini ?
