Buddy of mine in Australia has decided it's time to get his M3 Lee in shape.

It looks bad - but it runs. Well, it did until he broke the fuel pump when they starved it trying to maneuver the tank into position to get it on the trailer.

And yes, he has the turret, too.

Hopefully, this will be a project we can keep tabs on. Be fun to watch it morph from what it is now, to a fully restored beast!

But someone out of their goshdarn mind decided not to run a simple metal detector over a bombing practice field before building a school and houses over it. Stupid. So stupid it's almost funny. 2008-01-09T18:19:59Z 2008-01-09T18:19:59Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2008://1.8579-comment:68414 Comment from John of Argghhh! on 2008-01-09 John of Argghhh! http://www.thedonovan.com As may well be - but we abandoned places so fast after WWI and WWII who knows where the records went. After all, the French lost an entire bunker complex, eh? 2008-01-09T16:18:17Z 2008-01-09T16:18:17Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2008://1.8579-comment:68410 Comment from AFSister on 2008-01-09 AFSister under your child's school. Not to mention the numerous unexploded ordinances found around the school and the houses that surround it. Man. Somebody's gonna get fired over this one.]]> 2008-01-09T14:47:06Z 2008-01-09T14:47:06Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2008://1.8579-comment:68381 Comment from Spanky on 2008-01-08 Spanky I want one 2008-01-08T22:56:16Z 2008-01-08T22:56:16Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2008://1.8579-comment:68371 Comment from Murray on 2008-01-08 Murray I'm free, not too far away and have a slight amount of experience with these tracked beasties. Will work for great wads of cash, speaks semi-local dialect and thinks Indian cricket teams are sooky pull-hards who should spend more time trying to win than burning people in effigy*. *Small town near Dum Dum. 2008-01-08T20:39:24Z 2008-01-08T20:39:24Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2008://1.8579-comment:68366 Comment from MajMike on 2008-01-08 MajMike lovely little beastie... all she needs is some tender loving care is all... 2008-01-08T17:51:26Z 2008-01-08T17:51:26Z
