Stumbled across this page. They teach you how to drive a tank and has many armored vehicles displayed.

Ooooohhhhh, BC! This is the second place in merry old England to offer this kind of thing. Sounds like WAY too much fun, learning to drive a tank. One of those things everybody needs to do at least once in their lives, right?

Hey DJ, didn't your first tank have a crew of 11? Ten guys on machine guns and a driver?

I think its an excellent idea to drive a tank, but it can go both ways especially down here the way the people here drive with maybe they can put an air bag inside,cruise control? :-)

I wonder if while they are teaching you how to drive the Tank they also teach you the IA's and stoppages of the Grease gun Also all the fun of a thrown track in a big slimy mud puddle
Cool stuff though
Have a good one
