A spotless, if maybe somewhat weather beaten, leopard
Fancy one of these, free?
If so, and how many chaps could put hand to heart and say no, you are in luck, as those wonderful people at the Australian Defence Force have upwards of 90 Leopard 1 tanks to give away. All you have to do is write to the Leopard disposals manager, 256-310 St Kilda Rd, Southbank, VIC 3006, Australia by Friday, October 12. Apparently "priority [will be given] to local historical groups or military history buffs", and I think I qualify on the latter criterion. More on the tale here.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Do you need an M.O.T?
Cool.
Now whose lawn can I park it on?
There was a chap in Brixton who had a road legal Scorpion tank, painted bright yellow.
At least most military planes, tanks and ships have robust-sounding names like Leopard.
However, there is currently an American destroyer in the Gulf called the USS Ponce.
Maybe it means something else in the US :-)
Apparently the Russians were deeply miffed by NATO's codename for the Mig-15 being Fagot (sic).
That address looked familiar: 256-310 St Kilda Rd, Southbank, VIC 3006
Only several hundred meters from my workplace, might go see them in person.
