Tank Limo! London only, kids

Comforting to know that weapons that have spent a hard life defending our disproportionate greed can be retired gracefully in the feedback loop.

Crush a Car - for ONLY £375.00

I have to admit, that is pretty awesome. And a real steal, considering that £375 is like, what, one night in a decent London hotel? Or cover for two at a posh club?

yay! there's finally a limo more disgusting than the stretch hummer.

I think the question here isn't "is this awesome?" but rather "why is this SO AWESOME?"

Do I take it the rear of every single tank limo says 'www.tanklimo.com'?

OMG they actually do. I was only joking.

Thanks, tanklimo.com. I'm sure high school kids needed something new to spice up the best night of their lives.

Uh, it's not a Tank or a Limo...

It's a fucking APC painted white with TANKLIMO.COM written all over it.

Fantastic, but not as fantastic as this:

One or of them learnt how hard it is to run away from 18 stone of muscled naked black man on roller skates. But was he really trying.

Northamptonshire != London.

Please also note that tanks are cruise control to awesome.

You need it with all those feral pre-ASBO kids roaming the streets.

I've always thought I'd feel too claustrophobic inside of a tank. But I know Mr. Adams would love the "crush a car" option! How does one climb gracefully into that thing wearing a wedding gown?

Further to "crush a car" for £375 - and I quote -

"We charge £375.00 for the chance to run over a clean complete car in a 56 ton chieftain main battle tank. Theirs room for couple of your friends to sit on the turret, sorry you can’t put the mother in law in the car without a surcharge."

Classy. Classy. This is one of those sites where proper spelling and good taste would actually drag the place down.

Be charitable! Which one of these post-Prom lies will sound cooler as you and your buddies are nursing your hangovers?:

"I totally fingerbanged Allison on the way back from the Cheesecake Factory."

"I totally fingerbanged Allison on the way back from the Cheesecake Factory IN A TANK!"

Allison sounds classy.

I never went to my prom in highschool, but seeing this site, I think it's best, because if I didn't show up in one of these things, I would have been doing it wrong.

yay! there's finally a limo more disgusting than the capable of destroying a stretch hummer.

Better.

Hey, you know how Matt's coming to Britain in a few weeks? I say we have a whip-round and get one of these to pick him up from the airport.

This encourages prom-night violence. Do they include the ammo, or do you have to pay extra?

I don't believe I've seen a pink tank before.
Wonder why not. It might be quite effective.

Pink tank.

I like the UN markings.

Limotank is pretty cool.

But Pink Tank is FTW.

I don't know what it is but it has got a scorpion turret on it and I sure as heck spent a lot of time in one of those baskets. God I hate the smell of diesel.

Tanklimo, when a stretched Hummer does not proclaim "white trash" loudly enough.
posted by c13 at 5:34 PM on September 6, 2007

What, no stretch tank limo?

Pfft. It's nothing Master P hasn't already done.

And I thought that I was thinking outside the box by hosting a cut-throat paintball excursion for my bachelorette party. Had this been available stateside, I would have totally invited everyone I knew to crush stuff up.
