Warrior driven over car

This follows a proud tradition of many others I'm sure.

Back in the 50s my uncle did his national service doing maintenance on Tanks in Germany. He decided to have a joyride in a BAR tank on the way back from a serious session in the local alehouse. Due to a lack of skill/excess of alcohol he missed the local road and ended up half way through an empty barrack block and was caught red handed (and faced) by the MPs. As a result he spent the last half of his national service in the glass house and did not get a very good reference for civi-street.

Still talks about it with pride if you get him drunk enough :-)
