Here's the thread with pics http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...t=18077&page=6

So,it was a real tank eh?

I don't know what sort of tank it was,but it took up a fair bit of road,and I've never seen a tracked vehicle moving that fast on the road before.Maybe they are expecting a bit of trouble in the Waikato.

Did it have a WoF ? And if it was breaking the speed limit would any cop be game enough to give it a ticket ?

you mean you don't have many up there? all over the place down here I must see about a dozen of them on the way to work each day

Blurdy hell! I must pass this on to the comrades at Communist Central. Sounds like Rangiora is just the place we want to start the revolution. I mean, what have the NZ army got that could stand up to a dozen tanks.

Hmm, it was millitary weekend at motat2 11-12th feb, might explain a bit of the action.

Good day to muck around and see some cool machines (used to go there when I volunteered for motat).

edit: Like to see you 'move' that tank with your pajero like you do with bikes... tosser :P

NO idea whats happening up North. I know Burnham have something planned and they are doing manouvers. Don't be too surprised to see them on the road between CHCH and Timaru

Cartoon I saw depicting a used car lot with a tank in it and the salesman is saying to the bemused suck- ahh, potential customer "It was owned by a little old lady who lived in a rough neighbourhood..."

Sometimes thought that my next cage should be a tank or one of those Cadillac-Gage armoured scout cars - just for those pricks that pull out in front of you...
