Last functional Tiger I tank

This is kind of neat. How would you like to see one of these cruising around your neighborhood?

Ideal for the morning commute. Run over the normal cars, blow away the lorries/trucks and watch those damned oversized SUV's run for cover.

There is a fully functional Panther tank at the Sinsheim Museum in Germany. I was there a few weeks ago and posted some pics of it in another thread.

The French Armour Museum at saumur has a functioning King Tiger. They even take it out for a spin on Open Days!
