They have 95 tanks that can be taken on their off road tank driving course. They specialise in tank driving, corporate tank driving (not over your boss, although if you bung them a tenner they may let you drive a tank over his car) ;)

Other than the tank driving experiences that are on offer from Tanks-A-Lot they can also arrange the use of a Tank for other activities you may require, how about a Tank Limo, or you may need a tank for a publicity event.

Tanks-A-Lot is in Helmdon, Northants, not too far away from Silverstone.

56 year old Alastair Scott from Monmouthshire has had to diversify his business after struggling to make money out of crops any longer. Instead he has started up his own Tank driving school where people can come and get to drive a real Russian T55-AM2 Tank.

The tank was brought over on a low loader from Poland and the great thing is no driving license is needed for guests to be able to have their own chance to drive the monster machine!

If the chance to drive a tank isn’t enough Mr Scott is now letting people do car crushing or even drive over a computer, sounds the perfect relief form a stressful week commuting to a job sat behind a desk to us!

The tank driving experiences are available from www.tankschool.co.uk

The man wasn’t given both barrels by the judge who could have sent the man to prison, instead he was given a suspended sentence for four years for his actions!

It occurred during some anti-government demonstrations had turned violent in 2006. A 67 year old pleaded not guilty to “endangering traffic, arbitrary use of a vehicle and causing damage”. However the man did plead guilty to starting up the tank that was in front of the Budapest City Hall and then driving it along the inner ring road.
