As reported in the March 1st edition of Team CSK News Bits, team member John Fink has purchased a 22-year old British Chieftan Mark-V Battle Tank, and he has been awaiting its arrival in Auburn, Ind. since then. With much of Team CSK in attendance, at the team’s midwestern shop, the 55-ton machine arrived today on a special flat-bed hauler. Perhaps it is needless to report that most of the actual work that had been going on at the shop ceased when the behemoth arrived.
As team member Larry Lush reported, “It’s gigantic. It’s sitting here next to our truck and trailer, and it actually makes the big rig look small. “
At some point in the near future, Fink will relocate the tank to a parcel of land, where team members will be able to drive it around to their heart’s delight. Crew member Terry Snyder reported in, saying “This thing is all about being a tank. It’s enormous, but everything inside is all business, and I don’t think you’d want more than three people in there. It’s going to be fun to get this thing out on some land and drive it around, but I’m glad I never had to be in one of these when it was time to do the real business. “
Some people have all the fun…. Of course, Team CSK needs to complete the upcoming tour of the continent before any of them will have time to play with John Fink’s new toy.
