Coming along Rotongaro rd to day - coming around a corner I saw a tank! It was going fast,and when I waved to the driver he waved back.

I guess I've been a bit stessed at work lately,but I didn't really expect halucinations during the day.

It's funny when you see them aye? We saw 5 of them on the road between National Park & Wanganui on Tuesday. They waved back too! Very impressive : )

Well, at least he waved back. You're always complaining that sprotsbikes don't wave t'ya. Are you sure it wasn't just a full dresser Harley?

Tank = Harley?

**Ixion** · 12th February 2006, 20:01

Well naturally. Like calls unto like and all that. Obviously they waved back cos they thought you were another tank, camoflaged.

hey Motu, last time we did a fight club ride and stopped at Ruawaro hall, saw a bloody great tank driving around in the paddock opposite the hall.

and today coming back from hams saw one on a 8 wheeler transporter.

Uprising ? peoples revolt ? or the vintage machinery rally coming up ?

F/F

Hm - on reflection I think I'll take careful note of this. I think a wise man might make a habit of giving way to such traffic - no matter what!

There was a article as a part of 'human interest minute' that every goddamn news show seems to have these days *breathe* where some guy in NZ (cant remember where) owns two tanks and drives them around on his large property. One was a Scorpion I think (and a Legionaire or something?). His Dad drove the other one.

Sounds a bit 'Deliverance' to me. Maybe someone in the 'Tron then?

I didn't see the article but if you'd been at the Woodstock rally at Hokitika you prolly would have seen them.

He is over on the West Coast and has got a Centurion Main Battle tank and I'm not sure what the other is if you check the Woodstock thread you can see the pics but neither of them is a Scorpion

Anyone want to take one for a drive you can do it down here in Chch
