Who knew there were so many tanks!?
That webpage goes on for ages!
Amazing technology, that's for sure, especially the latest ones.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Missing most of the pacific / Japanese tanks. Despite that very impressive.

I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

Oh Pete, I'm with Tony,that was brilliant. As another ex-Armoured soldier, I'm drooling at the mouth. A great walk through history. Loved it.
