        If it looks like a tank and it quacks like a tank then as far as I’m concerned it’s a tank, m’kay? Note to self. Avoid venturing into tank Twitter in future...

        Well. I think the one thing we can all take away from the bitter tank-gate feuding is that we all need to get out more.

        This is actually one of my favourite things that’s ever happened on Twitter. Reply guys absolutely losing their minds. We’ve now reached the “do your research” and “typical biased MSM” stage of tank-gate 🤣

        Want to hold my hands up. I am now finally prepared to accept that this indeed is not a tank, and is rather a field artillery, self-propelled crisis of masculinity.

        Nope. Pretty sure it should have rubber tracks to be "road legal"

        Are tanks congestion charge-exempt? And that's before we start worrying about the fuel economy...
