<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 505185, member: 15062"]For me, the thrill has always been the journey rather than the destination. I spent 10 years doing a full frame-off restoration of a 1957 Chevy Convertable - then I sold it. I love going on cruises to somewhere - but I hate getting off the boat once we arrive. I spent 4 years restoring a Military M-37 Truck and an AN/GRC-46 Radioteletype set - and it's been sitting the back yard for 2 years now. I fully restored a 1966 VW Beetle over a 3 year period and I've only driven it six times in the last year.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as coins - I made an effort to complete a full set of Lincoln Cents. I completed it missing only the 1909S-VDB, and I rarely look at it any more. I'm currently mid-way through assembling a type set and I know that when I've gone as far as I can with it I'll put it aside and move on to something else - whether or not it will be coin related, who knows?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
