I drove a Tank!

[easo]

G'day all, a week ago I was floating around NSW and caught up with a mate who has some old Armoured Vehicles. All in all a very good day had. This video was made for another page I assist in running but I though its a good way to post the evidence.

Enjoy, Easo

Hell that looks like fun!

Thought you would've done that a few times Easo?

DONT BUGGER THE BUSH!

Ah what the hell wish I had one. But that's one serious Go Kart track he's got.

Jeez, You are one lucky man.
That Centurian looks & sounds awesome, and in really good shape,....not even blowing any smoke like a lot of 'em do.
Has he done any maintenance/repairs on it?
Very jealous, Pickles.

The bloke who owns them has done general maintenance and made some slight reliability modifications.

It's not everyday you get to drive a piece of our history and even though this actual tank did not serve in Vietnam you still get an absolute feeling of what out tankies of 50 years ago had to do.

I did see that. Arnie doesn't cry!

Brilliant!
Thanks for posting.

Does the turret still traverse on the Centurion?

It does both manually and electrically. The Gyro Stabiliser does not work anymore and requires a lot of replacement parts to fix, parts that just are not around.
