Drive a real T55 or BMP in Germany

Tank driving

Germany's biggest men's-playground !!!

Hello, forget once everyday worries and everyday-stress. Relax and do something completely crazy, something exceptional and extraordinary. You don't have to go back to school again and you needn`t accumulate theoretical knowledge, here it immediately comes off intro the practical part, because we want you to have fun. If you would like to drive even tanks with us once, you should not be younger than 16 years old to be able to experience the fun fully. There is no age restriction upwards. As long as you feel lusty enough for it, you are welcom. Even if you don`t like to drive on your own, but would like to experience such a tank trip with your friends or your children, it would not be a problem either. On the tank, up to 8 people can have a seat in the roof-garden.


only 136 ueros to drive a BMP or t55, (10 euros as passenger.)

They're being phased out in favor of more Nato-compatible equipment, but some are still in service. BMP-1s and -2s, T55s, T72s, BRDMs, BTRs, let alone all the GAZs and UAZs, we have or used to have it all

Thought so since I spotted the Leo2 on the front page of the site.

BTW are your BMPs smoking that heavily too? I saw several videos where they were leaving a pretty bad smoketrail.

It is introductory explanations, instant driving school, the ride last 20-40 minutes or so, maintenance, fuel, payment for employes, taxes. And a little bit of porfit they also want to make, I assume. Even if it is a small one.

1 Bunjee jump: 50-100 euros.

1 45-minutes driving lesson at driving school: at my time already 120 DM/60 Euros. that's more than twenty years ago.
