Australian man sells vintage British Army tank for all your crushing needs
Ever dreamed of slowly and gleefully crushing the car of your nemesis? If you live in Australia, that fantasy could soon become a reality. Geoffrey Bloor of Western Australia has listed what he says is a British Army tank from 1965 on the classified website Gumtree.
For a mere A$85,000 ($63,941.25), the mobile death machine could be yours to own if the law allows. Bloor has been contacted for comment.
According to the advertisement, the tank has clocked up a mere 20 kilometres (12.5 miles), so you could really take it out for an adventure or two. It comes in a sensual camouflage green and the weapon element of the vehicle has been deactivated for obvious safety reasons.
The only downside is that the 1965 war machine doesn't have air conditioning, so you might get a little hot under the collar while crushing your ex's car.
