She was out in the road way before his approach and the fact that hes driving a tank it should be obvious not to try and squeeze through a gap there.

    Back in the 70s I was part of a team at a REME Field Workshops where we were doing a lot of modifications on CVR(T)s often working over time. When we were the only ones left we would race them around the workshops. The MOD police would also take a turn racing us. There were complaints form the local civies about the noise. The MOD police were asked what was happening , strangely they were unaware of any racing.

Loved those CVRT's, whenever there was something to do we just took off the deckplate so engine & transmission was easy to work on. I remember we always fitted a spare belt on the transmission with tie-wraps so it was fast repair in case of emergency. When I was in the civil war of Somalia they were reliable, even in the heat.

    hi there guys, could I say that you are living my dream. when I first heard that the army was selling these tanks, I really wanted one, but in reality, could never own one..
    when I saw your videos, I had to sub you. I love what you've done with it, how much you look after it and best of all, drive it. I would love to see it in the flesh, for a touchy feely, and a look inside it. I'm sooooo glad, there are people like you, who love and cherish all the different types of vehicles, my favourite is my 1973 suzuki GT250K candy apple green.
    I had the very first one in Northern Ireland on my 17 th birthday.
    could I ask, why did you stop so frequently, is it something to do with the tank, or just letting the public have a better look.
    anyoldhoo, keep the cameras rolling. awesome vehicle. 😀 👍 👍 👍 👍

He used to get pulled all the time and lectured on the illegality of driving the tank on the road, where upon he would pull out his Chief Superintendent’s hat for the motorway police and proceeded to lecture the other cop on “track area and ground” pressure” and how the only relevant law is that if you damage the road, you pay for the repairs!
