fesm_ndt Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Illegal parking is everywhere over here and this is a fantasy that I have dreamt of often when a 2 lane street is blocked by incosiderate &^%$%#^&'s http://video.news.com.au/2079568156/Crushed-by-a-tank?area=videoindex2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Funny enough, dropped into my local car supply shop this lunchtime, this was being mentioned. Also present wasa gentleman of the 'Tracked vehicle owner's' persuasion. He did admit to doing something with a 432 whilst reversing out of a driveway, pity it was mate's car! :-D Richard Le Brocq did sit an Abbot on top of a Merc as part of an arena show in Jersey. What was remarkable, the Merc fought back! Quite a sight an Abbot tetering on the roof of a Merc saloon. (Anyway, don't need a tank, I've got a bus!!)

mike65 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Oh yes, if only you could get away with doing it. I get really peeved by people who have drives, garages, empty roads and insist on parking across/on the footway Not that I have any objection to parking on the road at times it is handy. Especially when you have a sloping driveway and the handbrake lets go, whilst leaning on the back of your Landy and the only thing between it ant the front room of the house opposite is their Suzuki Swift.

Giles Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 You know the ratchet handbrake on a Sarasen, I think it was. It snapped when stationary on a hill at some lights in Germany. As the occupants of the car in front jumped out and fled, it was just like free-wheeling into a snow drift:wow: couldn't stop it. Can not remember whether the footbrake had failed too but I think it happened slowly-ish without us relising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I remember this being sugggested a few years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecsEAXNlfv0 "Get yourself a sherman tank. You know it makes sense" (Okay I know it's not really a sherman but hey!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
