the coolest car in the ENTIRE world

Ooh that is a cool site, I am addicted.
Sensitive souls should not go there, though, so:
Here's the 2009 Shed of the Year
Some areas have been colour-coded to help you spot the go-fast bits.

"and when they got through, the title weighed 60 lbs"

that was great!

the one with the oil drums on the back looks like a surrogate T-80..

Early Leo 2's made to look like T-72/80/90's

Yep.

M-113 made to look like BRDM's
Or maybe the BTR series?

I was thinking more about BMPs cecause of the tracks, but then again, I have never asked its creators or crew.

I like those Leo ARV's in shot 5

Me too. They made working on detached tracks easier since they helped turning them around. :d

Also, I heard a story of one of them getting caught in a radar control of our MPs with 110kph (slightly downhill).
Their drivers are crazy so or so. Leo 2 in tow, but still doing 60kph - on a public road. :isadizzy:

I first thought BMP, then figured they might be .JPG's or TIF's. Ha Ha just kiddin'. But I did think of BMP's and then thought they looked kinda lame for simultaing a BMP, so I figured BTR/BDRM.

Well, the only BMP avaiable was a rusted derelict from the east german army. We also had a rusty T-72 parked in your T-Bereich (technical area; tank parking lot). (No pics; sorry)

Amazing how small those things are. That T-72 and BMP must've been darn uncomfortable inside. I kind of prefer a more massive, but comfortable tank (you can easily sleep in a Leopard's driver's seat). Finding safe hulls-down positions in northern Germany is easy enough.

Soviet tankers had to be, like 5' 8" or shorter, if I heard that right.
Small vehicles packed with fuel(some of it on the OUTSIDE) and ammo. When hit, it looks just like a movie effect.

That's 1.7m, right?

We can confortably fit 2m guys into our Leopards. Must feel like as much as a palace to a russian tanker as the PzH2000 was a palace to me.
Honestly, you can throw an entire party back in there!



:d

Yeah, heard of russian tanks developing the nasty "flying turret" syndrome when hit.

Their autoloader is a cool element too, but I preferred its human counterpart altogether since an autoloader can't lend a hand with repairs. :d
