I saw that one over on Steel Soldiers. What a great clip! I'm glad to see it made its way over here so I could enjoy watching it again. Wonder how long it would take for them to do the same with an M37??

THE GUY THAT SOLD ME MY M37 DID THE SAME STUNT ON GREEK TV WITH HIS REBUILDING CREW. THIS IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. BOTH FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DONE IT, BUT MOST IMPORTANT FOR THOSE MASTERMINDS THAT DESIGNED A VEHICLE IN THIS WAY. LETS TRY IT WITH A MODERN VEHICLE LOL. EVEN MOTORCYCLES THESE DAYS HAVE MORE BITS AND PIECES THAT ARE MANDATORY FOR THEM IN ORDER TO OPERATE :)

While stationed in England, I was one of the lucky guys from my unit who "won the lottery" and got to attend the Royal Tattoo at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. If you're not familiar with this event, it's where the best of the best of Her Majesty's troops show off their skills in friendly competition. I got to see a group of Scottish artillery lads do a similar stunt with a howitzer. They had to completely disassemble it, hump all the pieces to the other end of the parade ground, reassemble it, tow it back by hand and fire off a salute to mark the finish. They did this in well under 10 minutes. They worked like a well oiled machine. Each man had a specific task to perform and he did it to perfection. Mind you, this was all done with a drummer beating time and the laddies had to stay in step all the time they were lugging the parts down range. It was a truly amazing spectacle. :D
