I'm guessing violence was involved, probably hit a mine.

Still pretty crazy considering that,what, 40 tonnes of tank. Maybe it slid down that hill? I couldn't see a mine doing that.

Those south African yokes are crap! The left one is picutred still sporting it's "grenade catcher"!!

gungun · 03-09-2010 6:08pm

I thought they were said to be pretty good

Tbh I'd much prefere that protection, much higher chance of some lad taking a shot with a rifle than trying with a grenade. Plus, wouldn't like to be up there without it if an IED went off:eek:

Thermo is right, the actual engine and other mechanical parts are pot. They are a good concept and look great but thats about it.

Jesus, get over yourself!!! Its obviouusly a joke!!

And just because the picture is 5 years old doesnt mean its not the same guy. Its quiet possible to take more than one photo of a person in different timescapes. Dont let that get in the way of a shot at gamers though!!!
