Buying a tank!

[Tups]

My neighbour has just bought one! £3000, no tax, no MOT, a set Insurance premium of £120 and runs on leaded, unleaded, diesel, cooking oil or contaminated fuel, the latter costing nothing from garages who need to get rid of it! Fantastic!

Great, I wonder if AOG would like to borrow it for when the balloon goes up!

[sddsddean]

A guaranteed parking space at the local Tesco too!!

[Prudie]

What type is it?

[Tups]

Don't know. Will find out.

[Answerprancer]

Ok cheers ...LOL

[dotty.]

how is it roadworthy? there are no wong mirrors, what registration is it?

[Charlie911]

I drove one once - *loody hard work so I don't envy your neighbour.

Brilliant! If I had one I'd park it in my garden with the gun aimed over the fence at the neighbours.

I guess it's an east European T-34 as those nations have shed huge numbers over her for scrap in recent years for that sort of price. Your neighbour will need a fair amount of old cooking oil to run a diesel like that for even a minute or two though.

I remember a good Kenny Everett sketch about no parking problems if you owned a Sherman tank.

Hot or cold?
