    Default Chieftain tank at Wilshire gun range..........

    Had to do a little research to find out what kind of tank this was as I knew it wasn't American.

    The thing was huge and even by modern battle tank standards I bet is slow and has horrid fuel consumption.

    This is pretty funny. A friend of mine is the one that was the FFL that received this and it has been sitting in his back yard since like June. He just posted today on his FB that it was going to Wilshire.

    Anyone else find this pretty funny/ridiculous that Fallin will be cutting the ribbon and then CRUSHING A CAR WITH A TANK?

    Do you think that Jeff Foxworthy might make a cameo appearance?
    This all sounds like it's right up his alley . . . or gravel road, as the case may be. =)

    Will she actually drive it or will it be her chauffeur?

    I wonder if this will be as funny as Dukakis in the tank.

    Maybe it's insignificant, but why a British tank to celebrate an almost uniquely American business?

    Lend-Lease payback?

    I watched the video. I don't think she was really driving the tank.
    It was more like she was riding on a parade float.

    We invited her to our ribbon cutting and she couldn't even take the time to send a rep or send a congratulatory note much less appear. Should of had guns and a tank. (The other guy came by)

    She wasn't, she was in the turret. The driver sits down front.

    They ought to put that tank out in a field and charge people for rides. That would be a lot of fun.
