In the latest video we have a look at Jacks new purchase, an Abbot SPG, unfortunately despite buying it as a runner it arrived in the yard broken down so we removed the engine without telling him!

if anyone can make that tank right it will be Jack he is a hard working talented man!

@bobbroadhurst1648 8 месяцев назад

Jack will have it looking mint, and with your help it'll be a sweet runner, will cost a few $$$, and a bit of time, but it'l'l be worth it. Go hard Jack

@davidfarnell1237 Год назад

You never cease to amaze me. Your insight, compassion, empathy and knowledge into humanity and our existence is truly incredible. How you manage to put into words and clarify what and how we may be feeling is a pleasure to listen to. Maybe it is a matter of how like minded people gravitate towards those whom we resonate with. I don’t know. All I can say is that you must resonate with so many of us and I thank you.

@markbowen3638 Год назад

That Abbot hasn't been a runner for a long long time. Hope Jack got it at a good price. Looking forward to how you guys put it back together! Going to need more than a lick of paint! Great content as always guys.

@amdintelxsniperx Год назад

when i see old tanks get restored that have had a hard life only to be loved and running again without having to be shot at is very touching :) its like when an old war dog finds a soft couch to relax on it is touching

@fittermat Год назад

It’s nice seeing them all done in the shed at the end!

@johnf8061 Год назад

You guys have come along way from that first restoration. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming because they are very entertaining

The tank that every bloke wants, purely to take their mates to the pub. Can't wait to see you lads work your magic on it. If you're ever passing through Disley and need a volunteer....😁

I bought a Abbott around 1994 with a friend he ended up buying me out it was and is very original and tidy inside and out it's just been sat in a barn since then

@fittermat Год назад

If he wants to turn it into cash my email is in the details section of this video, would be very interested

@nickhill3362 Год назад

See these and Chieftains on a live fire exercise on Salisbury plain in the 80s. Bloody noisy buggers, Bedford on the other side of the valley didn't like it, fell to pieces 🤣 Funny bit is every time either fired, they slid back their length again due to the recoil. Awesome to watch 🤗🤗
