Was it headed toward Evansville? I wonder if Irahm finally got the city to order one for him?.......

Its a safe bet that it was a replica. Only a handful are still in existence. Even "Private Ryan" couldn't get ahold of the real deal.

we saw it too, it looked too small to be real

I would have loved to have seen that, real, replica or whatever. I dig armor and have quite a collection of 1/35th scale kits. Can't think about guns all the time, well civilian guns.

This, I think they modified Russian tanks because they were the closest in appearance.

I thought it small too, but I hadn't seen one for a long time.

I was in a store and saw it go down the road, ran outside and it was well on its way.

I guess they do a reenactment in Lake Co that gets some armor, did a quick web check for anything soon and south- no find.

I saw one today, a tank on a trailer that is, on I-70. The tank was headed west, just west of Indy.

Didn't really look like a Tiger. Turret was way too small. It did have a German cross painted on it.

It was headed west, and I was headed east, at 65mph, I didn't get a long look at it.

We were headed south to Atterbury around 11am and saw a old tank on one truck and some sort of personnel carrier on another. They were headed north and greenish in color.

When we left shortly before 4 there was a tank and half track on a truck at the stop light outside of Atterbury (not sure of road names). They were in the lot of an abandoned business, maybe a gas station, and were tan in color.

I doubt if they used Russian Tanks. I cannot think of a one that is even close to the looks of a Tiger...

You definitely could not sneak up on somebody with one of those!

When you had an 88, you really had no need to sneak around...

Hell probably just hearing one of these bastages coming down the road, knowing it's got the 88, was probably enough to constipate you...

I'd hate to be the guy that always gets stuck starting that thing. Imagine having to do that in the heat of battle!

I wish you guys wouldn't out me on the internet. I usually conceal carry it.
