Tank Collector

Stamps, coins, and baseball cards are all kids' stuff compared to this heavy metal collection. Mark Witham restores tanks, jeeps, and other 20th century military machines to museum-quality perfection. He even lets Bob test drive a tank! (# 1121, 2/21/2009) www.fubarmotorpool.com

Looks like an SU-76 on steroids! And I thank him for what he does and ddid in his service in the RAF, even though I am an Amercan, you must have respect for them all!

Sorry to have to be technical, but that isn't a tank. It's a British self propelled howitzer. Thumbs up for Mark, in any case.  Really appreciate his purpose and support for the military.
