video - Tank crushes van

[Royzee617]

Here's something a bit different for the tank fans out there.... and for those who like me hate FWVs... 'effing white vans' (and their inconsiderate drivers... for the most part)!

Back to the planes tomorrow... promise!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

hehe cool, but they should have done it at full spead..........

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Love it!

 

[Nonskimmer]

I'd sooooo love a tank for driving to work in!

 

[mosquitoman]

You wouldn't have to worry about traffic jams- just go straight over the top

 

[Nonskimmer]

That's the idea.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

actually it's not illegal so long as you have all the correct paperwork liek licences and such like............

 

[mosquitoman]

What, to drive over a van?

 

[Nonskimmer]

Isn't there a fellow in London who drives around in an old yellow one?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well i mean to drive it, i don't suggest driving over a van............

 

[mosquitoman]

There are DUKW tours on the Thames

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yeah there are...........

 

[Royzee617]

This is the WW2 amphib bus you can have a London tour in... on land like this or down the Thames...

 

[Nonskimmer]

Similar to the Harbour Hopper tours here in Halifax.
They're ex-US Army amphibs that were used in Vietnam.

 

[Royzee617]

I think the London one is ex British Army or some such... dunno much about it but I bet my nephew does as he has been on it... says it was great fun...

 

[Aggie08]

I saw a picture in the paper a year or so ago from Iraq, some militants in a pickup charged a truck screaming and shooting at this Abrams tank. They charged it but the tank just flat out ran them over. Perhaps would've helped to think that one out a little better.

 

[Royzee617]

Hey Nonskimmer - let's have more photos like that one of the amphib.... especially ones with the lovely lady!

 

[The Jug Rules!]

Cool...

 

[Royzee617]

Great plane the Jug - I have a nice clip somewhere of them moving the Duxford plane around... hmm now where did I put it?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I always like to see somethin being destroyed, especially when its an ford!
