- pineyAs I am writing this the Military Channel is showing for the second time tonight the first episode of the new season of Tank Overhaul. the subject is the Aberdden Elefant. I just stumbled on it while channel surfing or I would have given a heads up here. Next Wednesday it will be a Centurian.
The format is a little different this season but sme irritants persist. They repeated try and compare the Elefant to an M 109, largely ignoring until near the end that they are for completely different jobs. And the fact checking still sucks, during one segment on tracks I was informed (And astonished to learn ) that the tracks for an M1 Abrams weigh 200 metric tons each must put quite a strain on that turbine

PS hope you caught it Bob Smart, saw a number of familar faces

- DontosI watched part of this show this morning. The troubles they had with removing track pins is the same as is being experienced here with the recently arrived Panzer IV.
That rivot remover sure is a nice tool. Wish we could have access to tools like that.
I am interested in seeing the entire segment, looks pretty interesting.

- TanklordHey Ascout, ya flying swine, Piney is no more a ragin cajun than I am a submarine commander in the Mongolian Navy!
- pineyI take it has a compliment to be called a cajun, but I'm happy here in the"Joisey", as Bob Smart would say, pines. That's probably why they don't let Ascout navigate over at JG300

- JeffStringerI watched it too and they use waaaay too much fill time going off topic referring to other vehicles ... even if they aren't related.
But hey, it was better than nothing.
