As I said on YouTube, that thing is a symphony of rumbling engine and various clanging, squeaking and banging bits! I imagine many a soldier wet his trousers upon hearing that beast coming.

It reminds me of Saving Private Ryan when the tanks are approaching the town by the bridge and all that noise is echoing off the buildings as the earth shakes. One of the best parts of the movie!

Cool 8) I wonder what the cars on the road were thinking when that beast was heading towards them :wink:

I agree that them removing some of thier videos is starting to get very annoying, but I guess we'll just have to take what they give us. My Wife and I had so many great music vids stored in our favorites,but now they are all gone. :( Google also has a video collection, however I haven't really checked it out. Oh well, off to the Columbus toy show to find some goodies. :D :D :D

Same here, and that's my main beef with them. You can't see most of those videos anywhere else. :evil:

Seeing the real Tiger under way really makes you appreciate the mock up T-34's as a Tiger from SPR and Kelly's Heros.

Nice video. The Tiger has been one of my favotites as well. I still kick myself for passing on the chance to get a real Tiger track link and pin. A chance like that will probably never come my way again. Rats !!!
