Found this randomly on the internet, figured it was kind of cool, and it has a Rover in it too!

Re: Home made tank and Rover
That doesn't look right at all!
I could perhaps understand the door glass remaining intact if the roof was peeled away from the door tops, but the rear quarter and hatch glass remaning unbroken when the roof if inside the car and the front of the track (deformed under load) is resting on top of the hatch?
The rear suspension doesn't looked bottomed-out, but I guess the bodypan could be beached on the ground. No deformation of the rear bumper though?
The panel gaps around the rear door are interesting.
It's obviously a photo of what it is, but it does seem a bit bizarre

Re: Home made tank and Rover
It is indeed. There's a video if I can find the link as well - it's weird, the 306 they ran over defromed the same way. It does have quite narrow tracks, maybe that's why it broke like that?

Re: Home made tank and Rover
Looks like it to me... was going to say that looks like something out of warhammer 40k, just looks like a life sized model to me and like its been set up with the car underneath it?Vard66 wrote:LOL!

Re: Home made tank and Rover
when the tank ran up the screen and on to the roof it has pulled the centre down and away from the doors, because it has rubber tracks it has yet to put any weight on the hatch, looks like fun though.
