Must have it...
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

     Treize, why not get the real thing?  Of course shipping from the UK could get pricey  :D

     Difference between a Stuart and a Tiger is that you could take a Stuart someplace.  Trying to trailer a Tiger anywhere
sounds like a huge hassle  :aok  Of course being from Illinoisy, not having a concealed weapon permit wouldn't be a
problem for a Tiger  :lol

Guess I could play redneck and buy the stuart just so I can take the treads off and sit it on concrete blocks in the front yard  :D

Heck with that, I'd rather have a Panzer IIIJ or a Panzer IIL 'Luchs'- stuff that's light, fast, mean looking, and can go just about anywhere. Why would you spend all that money for a tank you couldn't take out unless it hadn't rained in the previous week?

From the article...

Mike is nothing if not hands on and, in August 2008, flew out to Brazil with nothing in his luggage except loading straps and chains. There, in conditions that would give a UK health and safety person a fit, and with the help of a couple of farm labourers, a hired teleporter, much sweat and not a little blood, he loaded the 16 tanks (each of which weighs around 14 tons) plus 60 tons of associated spares into 10 containers.

Beam up the tanks Scotty!
