I've seen that episode on an earlier showing a few months ago. It was pretty cool. Jacques Littlefield has the largest private collection of working tanks - everything from WWI Renaults, to WWII German Panzers, to a giant Cold-War era Russian cannon. ...and the best part is that Littlefield is married to a former Miss Guatemala, who shares his passion for military armor!
After seeing the show, I remember telling my brother (in reference to my habit of collecting all sorts of small scale tanks) "See? There are people out there that are crazier than me! At least I don't collect full-size, working tanks!"
A recommended show for you armor lovers!
