I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in this year's "Tanks in town" event in Mons, Belgium:

I got to ride on the Sexton II of the Royal Netherlands Army, which performed flawlessly, thanks to the combined efforts of both military personnel and civilian volunteers.
It was in one word: FANTASTIC. If you ever get to chance to participate, go for it! Imagine a drive of some 35 km. with dozens of tanks and other vehicles through towns, country lanes and fields. With appropriate stops, this takes a whole day, to end on the town square of Mons.

Enjoy!
