If your ever in the city Budapest and you have the itch to drive a tank I have just the thing for you. While in Budapest a week ago I saw a flyer at a local internet cafe that had printed on it “Drive a Tank” of course this caught my attention and I had to find out more.

Here is a quote from their website:

“”Rushing off the road, I have the steering in my hands. Under me, a 22 ton monster of steel roars. I’m in control, nothing can stand in my way! It is only the two of us: man and machine.”

Have you ever wondered, how it feels to experience such a magnificent ride?”

It seems from the web site they have three types of tanks you can try out:

1. GSzP-055 - “Táltos”
2. ZSU-23-4 - “Shilka”
3. T-55 ARV - Technical rescuer vehicle

Unfortunately we didn’t have the opportunity to do this and its a bit of a drive out of Budapest but If anyone does this let me know im sure the next time I make it to Budapest im going to give it a shot or better yet shoot it with my tank

Below are pics I scanned in from the small flyer I picked up.
