Anyone have any experience with them? I received a 4 star package for Christmas. They are located in Minnesota

It Includes (taken directly from the site):

  -Safety/History Presentation
  -5 Ton Transport
  -2 Passengers
  -Drive FV433 Abbott SPG
  -Drive FV432 APC

  -STEN WII Machine Gun
  -M4 Machine Gun
  -1919 WII Belt-fed Machine Gun

  -Shop and Equipment Tour

Sounds like a decent time. From the videos it looks pretty relaxed and fun.

EDT: Sorry, did not mean to imply I would be driving a 'tank'. Just Identifying the company.

Where's the tank?

Ah, the five star package.

Well, I don't see any tanks there, but I guess tracks are OK too.



Had a buddy that had a Scorpion CVR/T, he enjoyed TC and I liked to drive....that SOB was a helluva lot of fun. Fast little bastard, and it was one of the old ones with the Jag engine, sounded terrific.



those were the days.....sigh.



Go for it, you'll have a great time.

You're gonna have fun dude. Tracks are fun to drive, Keeping them driving is the sucky part.

Looks cool. I wonder how long you get to drive it and it isn't some, 'drive around those 3 cones and turn around' thing.

I keep toying with the idea of flying in the 2 seat converted ME262 "White 1" as a passenger but the cost is just too steep for that 1 hour.

Ugh. I still remember getting to unscrew the nipple on the track tensioner when I was the FNG. And then getting to be the guy scuffing the kitty litter into the concrete.

If you can fire the main gun, with stabilization on, while neutral steering, you won't need viagra for years.

Wow firing a belt fed and barret inside? Holy christ I wouldn't do that with 8 sets of ear plugs on

That reminds me of a dream I have, I'd love to own a personal  M113.  They may suck as a battle taxi but God, are they fun to run over stuff with.

Oh I meant at the end of the video they show customers shooting at an indoor range, but yeah would have thought it would be loud inside an armored vehicle.
