[VintageLambo] Totally OT: Minesweepers

Well, today I saw something that amazed me.It"s not that unusual to see a Navy ship around here in San Francisco, so when I saw a minesweeper tied up at Treasure Island (the old navy base) it didn"t surprise me too much.But when I met the owner, it just about blew my mind. First of all, I was sure it was owned by the National Park Service, or maybe even the Navy.But after photographing it for a few minutes, the real owner drove up in a generic minicar.A woman in her 30"s!She bought it from the Canadian Government for $60,000 and either sailed it down herself or had somebody sail it down for her. I"m attaching a photo cuz it"s just so cool.It"s a tough decision....If you have $60,000 to burn, "do I get a Countach, or do I get a Canadian Minesweeper?" I don"t know what I"d do, but the minesweeper would be high on my list, if I could figure out what the heck to do with it. Turns out this woman either owns or is involved in a marine consulting company, so it all makes sense.She wants to eventually (possibly) convert it into offices for her company.But for now she is living on it, and even took it out for a cruise last week!"Came with a full take of fuel..." Anyway, not to change the subject from lambos, but this one really blew my mind. Cheers all, Fred
