Title: I want a REAL tank
Post by: Nilsen on March 04, 2004, 06:49:46 AM: Anyone know where i can get a hold of a real russian T55, T62, T64 or T72 tank ?

NO...not ebay (ive checked).

Not kidding, im looking for a real one. :)

Does not have to be in mint condition or have a working gun,

There where made ALOT of these tanks and there should be somewhere to get hold of one when you can get fighterjets that works oon ebay.

You work for a museum Nilsen?

Fixing up a T55/62/64 could be fun.

'For disposal T62, less turret, Running driving and stopping.
With a mock up turret would make a good tank 'driving experience' vehicle'

Post by: Nilsen on March 05, 2004, 01:34:27 PM: Damn, the project stranded.
Aparently the wife of the one with the barn and room for it said quote: "jævla tulling" translation: "****ing moron". She claimed that they where in no need for a tank and for him to grow up :(

It would be so cool tho to rumble up to the range at the local gunclub with a T62 and aim the lazer at the target shouting "Sabot up!" :D

Post by: gofaster on March 05, 2004, 02:47:46 PM: Just remind her of the money that could be earned by allowing people to pose in the turret like a tank commander. You could set up a booth at air shows and gun conventions.

Post by: Furball on March 05, 2004, 03:01:10 PM: just tell her you are just doing your bit for the war on terror. And you only want to protectyour families..

Post by: Chairboy on March 05, 2004, 03:04:12 PM: If that T62 or equivalent was priced like that in the US, I think it would sell quickly. I'd buy it in a hearbeat.
