That is the inside of a British Challenger tank.

If I recall correctly, the FV432 also had a boiler in the rear door for tea, and stuff.

I wish are car had one of these.

Yep, stuff your night vision, fancy elecetronic gizmoes..as long as we can have a cuppa we can beat the enemy.

Reminds me of the Asterix comic where they go to Britain and the Romans find the Brits pack up at 5 for a spot of tea.

I'm a terrible stereotype....
I have just seen this with a cuppa beside me.

Tea and warm ale all the way!

That's what us Brits really mean when we 'brew up' a tank

Forget deisel, British tanks run on tea!

Thought everyone knew this?

That's one expensive teapot.

Better be carefull with that hot tea pot when the driver decides to speed up suddenly or take a sharp turn.

Americans have to step out, make a camp site and brew their brew. I've been in a couple M1's and they have no such niceties. All business in those things.

But I tell you this. When people are shooting, I'd rather brew my tea in my tank!

If you haven't noticed, the Challenger is a bigger tank so they have room for such things in it. The M1 is lower profile and must make more use of the lesser available space. So no 20 pack for the Americans!

Trust us Brits to put a tea making gadget in a tank! Can just imagine a commander guiding his gunner whilst sipping on some tea *sip* "Bloody good shot old chap!" lol:rotfl:

Last time I checked, bigger is not always better when missiles and bullets are flying by!
