Tanks are Kick A$$

Really want to see a Kingtiger/Tiger before I die


You should come over here to Germany, they have one of the last fully functional Panther tanks. I believe there is on in England as well. By the way the best tank museum is in England.

The Bovingten Tank Museum has everything from the Tiger, Panther and King tiger.

Another good musuem is the German Panzer Museum in Munster Germany which also has a Tiger, Panther and King Tiger.

Do you know who the Iron Cross belonged to?

No that I do not know.
 

Sweet Cota, I went to the APG last summer, it was cool seeing all the tanks and AFVs, especially a Panzer IV in great shape.
 

Been planning for while now on coming to Europe in about 2010/2011,

Definitely be going to Germany and will for sure go those museums,going with a mate who moved to New Zealand 7 years ago from Germany so itl help with his fluent German

Will take on your advice and go to those museums

Thats what cheered me up today ,living in the knowledge that in a few years il be in Europe...Italia.....Germany
 
Hi 109. When you come to Europe, another good tank museum is the French one at Samuar. BTW, careful for directions to the R.A.C. Tank Museum; it's in Bovington, Dorset, England. However, you'd be surprised how many people turn up in the village of Bovingdon, Hertfordshire, England, looking for the museum! The latter, BTW, is where the airfield, now a prison, is located, where the movies, 'War Lover', '633 Squadron', 'Mosquito Squadron' and 'Hannover Street' were filmed.
 
Spent my third day out of the apartment due to the cooler weather. Really pushed myself the last few days and paying for it tonight, but it's all good. Yesterday went to the 100th annivsery at Union Station and saw some classic trains and today took a trip up the Maryland countryside and stopped and spent some time at Monocasy Battlefield.
Not a bad weekend at all for some one who's had to spend most of the summer inside.
 
different, there is an event where they make a tight winding course in a paddock and you have to get around it the fastest, I think the proper rallying you are referring to you need a special racing licence in order to participate.
 
I understand now, and yes, you need an FIA licence for international events, or your own country's Competition Licence for 'home' events. I used to rally an Escort years ago, then it got too expensive, so changed to trying to get a Land Rover where no vehicle fears to tread! Off-roading, in other words!
Yes Rochie, ain't it just great when you find a shop like that? Trouble is, the wife soon finds there's too much month left at the end of the money! Still, I no longer have the latter problem, all independant these days!
