On Wednesday, I once again went to the pub quiz and we had r best ever performance. We came 4th, got full marks in 2 rounds and were 2 points away from coming 3rd and getting some money.
On Saturday I went to a place in Winchester to drive tanks and such. It was my dad's birthday pressy as he has apparently wanted to do it for a while. But he wanted some company, he doesn't ave many friends, so I went a long with him. So I got to drive a Chieftain Main Battle Tank: Now it's not too hard to drive. There is a stick either side of the seat for steering, a throttle and an annoying gear peddle. There is a brake but u don't use it (reassuring isn't it). No clutch which made my life easier and all I had to do is drive it forwards and backwards. Here's a pic for u:
Next up was the FV 432 Armoured Personnel Carrier. This also had two steering levers but this time they were in front of the seat. U have to pull them quite hard to make it move. It's automatic but has no brakes (just take ur foot of the pedal). And this one i was allowed to go around a circuit with. Here's a pic and yes that's me driving:
Then it was the Abbot Mobile Gun. It was basically like the carrier but heavier. Here's a pic:
Finally there was some Quad bikes and that was it. I really enjoyed my day out and here's my certificate to prove that it really happened:
And that was my wk.
Bye
P.S: Here's a bear that wants a hug and if u aren't right now hugging the screen which ur reading this on then ur strange.
