Default Anyone want a tank???

Low km's, not used in combat and come with air conditioning!

Might even throw in a free chopper if the price is right!

Amazing...all it takes to stip a tank is a central reservation. I thought these things were supposed to be able to go anywhere and not give a damn?

They have been obsolete with a capital O since we bought them all those years ago. Still, they served the ADF well and were a reliable piece of kit.

One of those would be great to tool around my woods in.

I'd take the gun off and substitute a boom with hook and bucket for trimming trees and lifting logs.

One of my very distant relatives in the Czech Republic (then the CSSR) invented the T-34 plow...
:rotfl:

On the other hand, the Leopard (1) is THE western cold war tank.
In some ways, a piece of history.
