Post Family buys tank

A German family has bought a six-tonne tank to use for shopping and day trips. Dad Joachim Schoeneich has even fitted a baby seat to the British-built Fox tank for his two-year-old son Paul.

The tank is armed with a disabled 30mm gun and has three-inch thick armour plating. "We take the tank to go shopping and little trips," laughed Joachim, from Neu Anspach.

"It is a bit hard to find a parking place, but we get right of way at every junction."The only drawback is fuel consumption as the £24,000 tank's 4.2 litre engine struggles to better five miles per gallon. "But the driving experience makes up for it," says Joachim

I want one

I always wanted one of those.

Insurance premiums would cost an arm though.
