British 'tank' crashes into German couple's garden fence

[jakeXT]

A British military vehicle swerved off a road in Germany into an elderly couple's garden fence, the MoD says.
The armoured Warrior infantry fighting vehicle belongs to a nearby military driving school, owned by Paderborn Garrison of the British Army.
The Army said a mechanical fault caused the vehicle to veer off the road.
Ulrich Tilsner, 67, from Paderborn, said it ploughed through his garden and stopped just before it hit his house - leaving him and his wife "in shock".

1. Just don't mention the war.

2. I'm glad to see that they modified the word 'tank'.

With "" and the term 'tank-like'.

It's not a tank; it's an armored fighting vehicle.

3. Sounds like a scene from "Stripes" n/t

4. They probably forgot to salt the roads.
