American Invasion - 19th Nov 2006

Since American Chopper came over and crushed a car for the program Its become the thing to do while on vacation Vin and her family from the states came for a special day just for them and the winner had to be Alex a young lad mad about tanks .Its never easy crushing a car with a chieftain when the grounds mega muddy they slip and slide about.

Luckily for us Alex was a quick learner and after the 432 APC training course we knew he could handle the job in hand .Wow what a crush, it was an estate car that he got to nail, it went down a treat .The water splash was nice and full and some of the team came close to a good drenching.

I had explained the difference between 4 and 5 mph through deep water is pretty devastating and every one must have listened. AS Colin had a good time in the woods he loves killing yanks, he spent a few years on an exchange with Delta force in the states and it was payback time. We showed them around the armoury, they couldn’t understand why! We could keep main battle tanks in a live firing condition but we couldn’t have live pistols (Charlton Heston would have something to say about that).
