Hahaha Galen. You always make me laugh. I needed that this morning!
Here there is a serious problem with mini bus taxis that do not know, obey or care about the road rules and tend to cause a lot of crap. I have actually fantasized about driving over mini bus taxis with a tank just like that boo boo. Dude, they are epic and nobody is gonna f*** with you on the road (or off road) if you're in a tank. We can dream right? :)
Lol. Happy to bring you some mirth in the morning.
Please don't get me started about wanting to drive a tank every day - I'll only get depressed because I can't have one.
One of my mates is a Captain in the army and commends a tank unit, three tanks. He says there's nothing quite like being in a tank when it fires and the only problem is they don't get to live-fire as much as he wants. The use tank-simulators mainly. I have not been in one that is firing but I've been near and it's pretty awesome. But in truth I just want to drive over things in one. On the road. Like, people in cars who get in my way. Or just any really. 😂
Well it's good to know that there are at least a few people in the world that would be happy to drive around in a tank.
2009 I found this one somewhere in England :)
I spent a day at the tank museum in Dorset a couple years ago. Amazing. You should get there if you like tanks. (You'll need a day.)

Some Tigers.
I would love to see that. Definitely worth a full day. Shot for sharing with us.
I live right near Yuma Proving Ground where the Army does all of it's vehicle testing (and much more). They have a static display on the road to the main gate which features maybe 20 of the units they have tested including tanks from the WWII Sherman (pictured) to the Abrams. It's always fun to see what's on their 'desert test loop'.
That is so cool. You are very fortunate to see these regularly. I don't even think that South Africa has tanks and if they did, they probably lost them or they were stolen lol. Beautiful piece right there. Now I really do want a tank.
That's a WWII Sherman. Our General Patton trained around here and used them to great effect in North Africa and Europe.
You can actually buy a tank here. They are really popular as monuments, lots and lots of places have one parked for public viewing.
