Leo I chassis, engineering track.

I spent a decade playing tanks. We had one guy, who was just shy of earning special education status at school, who lost control of an M60A3 and hit a 30-40' pine tree at about 5 mph. Amazing to watch that thing bend then a bone penetrating snap as it went over. He finally stopped, a few NCOs climb up his butt then one jumped in a tank and proceeded to run over the tree, back and forth. With each pass more of those bone penetrating crunches, just amazing the sound and sight of it all. The NCO was doing this to hide the evidence. Basicaly, they wanted it to look like a pile of wood and branches that had been there for a while. Later, they blamed it on a USMC tank unit. Pretty funny, but absolutely amazing!

They were not cobblestones, they were pavers.  Cobblestones are usually 12 to 16 inches long, with the length being imbedded, while the pavers are 3 1/2 to 4 inches.

If that were a true cobblestone drive, there may have been some chipping, but not the tear out you see in that video.
