I was not commenting on all tanks, just my first experience with a so called "Hand Made." It was disapointing. If I were disapointed by it, what of others who may only hold a passing interest? They would see it, look at the obvious flaws, wear it once, and never even think of it again. I want to see a real tank. What I saw today was obviously not it.

How many people went in for a kilt, say, to get married in, and got a POS like this one, and it soured them on the kilt experience? I know for a fact there is better, but I have educated my self on the issue at hand, where the average customer has not. Somebody, God forbid, might see this kilt and think all kilts are like this. Heck, if I can go in with a Philabeg and knock this sap's troosers off, just think if I were to go into his store with a real tank. When, and if, I ever have enough money to get something like that, I am on the first day I own it going to walk down to his shop and show him what the real thing looks like.

It sounds cliche, but it's all a form of trooser tyranny. Sell somebody a piss poor looking kilt and he will wear it once. That way you can sell more ball busting troosers that wear out in planned obsolescence and keep your self rolling in dough. Real kilt wearers need to represent, educate, and point out the real el-cheapo knockoffs.

I am hoping see a real tank some day.
