Comments on ‘Mk II... er, Tank Chair trundles into Las Vegas’Tuesday 8th January 2008 20:16 GMT Major drawbackMorely Dotes • Tuesday 8th January 2008 20:59 GMT
This chair wouldn't fit through most standard 36-inch doorways. On the other hand, you could probably ignore the doorway and just crash through the wall. Is it wrong that I want one?Robert Moore • Tuesday 8th January 2008 21:01 GMT
There are some days when you just want to be able to trundle over anything. Please..Graham Lockley • Tuesday 8th January 2008 22:45 GMT
..fit twin rocket launchers over each shoulder and the cheque will be in the post :) @robert MooreMatt • Tuesday 8th January 2008 23:14 GMT
No, no it's not........ If I was in the US I'd order one and then fit a small turret to it. nah i want something elseThe Mighty Spang • Tuesday 8th January 2008 23:24 GMT
saw june whitfield advertise this motorised 'comfy chair' once, zooming around a living room like a chintz davros. fell out of *my* chair laughing But how fast will it go??Herby • Wednesday 9th January 2008 04:21 GMT
The Abrams tank (US Army issue) will go 90 mph (down a dead end street). With this 2HP motor, how fast will this thing go? If you want to get there (wherever 'there' is) you do want to get there FAST! Squash the peons who get in the way! Get out the RPG's and missile launchers! Oh, it doesn't have a game interface built in (shaker input and joystick output). Bummer!! 10% incline?Trygve Henriksen • Wednesday 9th January 2008 07:36 GMT
That's not really that much... It's not unusual that the accessroad to the beach is steeper than that. How long before...Michael H.F. Wilkinson • Wednesday 9th January 2008 07:49 GMT
someone puts a supercharged V8 on this thing (it is American after all) Could it be?TeeCee • Wednesday 9th January 2008 08:16 GMT
Is that really a chair d'assault? Coat please and can I have some of that cheese to go? Actually...Daniel • Wednesday 9th January 2008 09:51 GMT
>The Abrams tank (US Army issue) will go 90 mph No. Top speed of an M1A2 Abrams battletank is 45mph, on a totally flat paved road, 30mph (maximum) cross country. It's also worth bearing in mind that it does this, while consuming 4-6 gallons, of aviation-grade kerosine, per mile. Just starting the turbines up, in the morning, will consume 10-15 gallons: more, if the engine has not been serviced for some time. (Do you see the 4000 gallon fuel containers on that chair? no, niether do I.) At the risk to breaking the tracks to pieces, you could probably take the engine-governor off and get even worse fuel-economy/higher top speeds, but anyone whose actually been *in* a tank, ging flat out, will tell you that anything over about 40mph is fairly heamorrhaging, and only the prospect of being heamorrhaged by something else, that someone is shooting at you, would induce you to want to go any faster. Please: grow up, boys. The inside of a tank, right next to the ammunition, has always been a nasty place to have to contemplate your own mortality.

Considering the normal aggressive use of electric buggies at the seas side this will go down well in Eastbourne. You thought you were safe on the beaches? -- now they've got tracks to go over the pebbles. No doubt for the merkin market you can get a matching taser. @ Michael H.F. WilkinsonTim Schomer • Wednesday 9th January 2008 12:32 GMT
Forget the supercharged V8, when's someone going to attach a JATO? @Daniel...Paul • Wednesday 9th January 2008 13:45 GMT
Or perhaps you could grow up and leave us to our fun. If any of us accualy wanted to be in that position we would be in the armed forces. We would rather have our fun laughing about how fun tanks are (Which they are, its the warfair that isen't) Secondly, HTF can they call it a tank. As many people have pointed out, no guns. Now, what I realy want is one with guns, so that I can go to Spain and start blowing up Germans on there sun loungers on the beach, whilst whisleing the theam tune to the grate escape and other war films.

I have to wonder if Professor Hawking will be upgrading soon and getting a laptop and speech synthesizer mounted to one of these. The period for commenting on this story has finished |
