Death is no easy answer

That was cool.

Saw this video close to it. How long 'till the Chinese conquer the world?

I wanted to see an over view of the Sherman but he spent the time on the tape on the details, mostly about the track and suspension. Pity as he has a neat toy there. It's obvious it's based on a lawn mower engine but the power train would have been interesting to me.

CBass would build one in a slightly larger scale just so CBass can pull up next to him and "CBass's is bigger"
