Dear Nephew Philip,

     Uncle Dick's Guide to the Purchase of Surplus Vehicles:

1.     Inspect vehicle at night. If it glows, select another vehicle.

2.     Inspect vehicle by day. If it has a hole in the side look in through
the hole. If you can count more than one unexploded HEAT or HESH round in
there select another vehicle.

3.     If vehicle seems otherwise suitable, open drains at bottom. Hose out
the interior. If you are squeamish do not watch what comes out in the wash.

4.    Tracks can be repaired but remember to put all the parts into a bag as
you disassemble them so that they can all go back in order. Do not mix road
wheels from different armies or the vehicle will ride rough.

5.     That big long hard thing is certainly exciting. Unless you are used
to using it, do not point it at anybody.

6.     If at any time you hear a loud noise and a red dot appears on the
side or top of your new vehicle you have a short period of time to collect
your belongings and leave the vehicle. I urge you to do so without delay.

    Uncle Dick
