IN a country regarded as the adrenaline-pumped home of adventure sports, one New Zealand company is offering frustrated drivers the chance to squash a car with a Centurion tank.
Tanks for Everything in Christchurch has a fleet of eight tanks, armored personnel carriers and Jeeps, the largest of which can easily crush a family sedan pancake-flat in a crescendo of squealing metal and shattering glass.
"I think it maybe releases repressed frustration, to go and crush something with a tank," owner Jonathan Lahy-Neary said. "If you've had a bad day, it's a pretty good stress reliever."
The pride of the operation is Maximus, a British-made Centurion battle tank, weighing 52 tons and powered by a V-12 Rolls Royce engine, which saw service with Australian forces in Vietnam in the early 1970s.
There's also a Soviet-era T-55.
