*Ahem*

Tank? Where's the tank?

All I see is some sort of INFANTry mover. They really should stay to riding around in the back of trucks etc.

Neat vid though!! Thanks. My faith in Traffic Control Points is restored.

Darrell

Oh, and it looks to be a CV90/30 so the vid is probably from Sweden.

Default New Meaning For Hit and Run

From the sound track it sounded like contact was made, which makes the tank driving off interesting particularly as the tank was at fault.

Saw something like this just outside the Aberdeen Proving Grounds main gate 20 or more years ago. I’d stopped at the stop light as escort truck and two M1 tanks pulled up at the other side 1st picture. When the light turned green the lead tank floored it and was a lot faster of the line then the Dodge escort truck before the lead tank got across the cross walks the drive was hard on the brakes 2nd picture, wish I’d been quicker with the camera. The second tank took it easy 3rd picture.

Probably should have left the location of the picture off, bet one our group would have spotted the location.

Hi Keefy
Great track, however I got side-tracked on a killer helicopter game and had to drag myself back here.
