Still, there's nothing like those great sport tanks of the Cold War...sure, sure, you have to be an inveterate tinkerer to keep them running now, and you may have to send to Israel or Belgium for main gun rounds which are still a bitch to sneak through Customs, but still, there's nothing today with the sporty looks of an AML-90, an IKV91, a Marder, or especially a Scimitar in British racing green!

My Adventure tank started life as an Australian Leopard 1A3 retired from service when the country switched to Abrams. It was in pretty good shape, and really only needed paint and standard maintenance. Since I take it to Cape Cod, and occasionally Provincetown, I added a big magnetic sign to the back and  sides that reads 'Hybrid' - but I'm not sure the libs are buying it.. I also added one to the underside in case I accidentally Corrie one of them as I make my way down Commercial Street while on my adventure !

....and F-16's have been buzzing my house all day today. I forgot to wear my tinfoil lined nightcap to bed last night and I think they have found me. :panic:

We hav e had had KC 135's flying over the house all day.  Oh crap, could be that we are under the approach to McConnell AFB.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

I finally got the little lady to go along with letting me buy a one-owner, loaded Abrams. I get my 120mm ammo from DUmoTex, the DUmp's ordnance expert.
The Abrams is sort of brutal on the driveway pavement, but it's a dream to drive, and you sure get a lot of attention cruising through the neighborhood.
It didn't quite fit through my garage door, but it took only a few seconds to widen the door.

While a bit heavy for the sport tank rally curcuit, that's a most enviable find!  The L7A1 105mm main gun is outstanding, and the Leo has an excellent power to weight ratio!  Well-played, sir, well-played!

This is true - I have been trying to convince the Missus to let me buy a lightweight CVR-T Sabre thats for sale in Ohio for 69K ( http://www.armyjeeps.net/armor1.htm) but she just isn't going for it :(

I wonder if the driver's sledgehammer is part of the 1% incomplete from the T-34/85 . . .

That would be a good Northway (I-87) vehicle.

A lot of that 1% seems to be no track on the right side, and from the description, the internal stuff like a commo system.  Road wheel rubber that can be seen looks to be in good shape, though, so at least it isn't a burn-out.  As many of them as there are around the world, the track should be findable if it isn't strapped up in a roll somewhere in the same yard.  Looks pretty restorable.
