The first Panzer...
The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Re: The first Panzer...
Looks sorta like and reminds on of a land-bound version of the C.S.S. Virginia. Under-armored. Underpowered. Under-gunned. And too blasted slow!

Looks like something from a Monty Python skit...

shall possess the highest seats in Government,
our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots
to prevent its ruin." Samuel Adams

Mephisto A7V preserved in Brisbane Australia just 20 minutes drive to see it from my place.
Brisbane Australia has the only WW1 German Tank left in the World A7V Mephisto Allegedly from what I'm told the Germans wanted to borrow Mephisto to measure her dimensions and swap a German tank from the 2nd WW while on loan, but we said no way, you can come over to Australia and measure Mephisto here, and now the Germans have a copy and we still have our war prize!
"MEPHISTO" was disabled during an attack by 14 A7Vs at Villers-Bretonneaux in April 1918. The vehicle was recovered by Aussie diggers from the 26th Battalion & claimed as a war trophy.
"Mephisto" was a female converted into a male,Lucky Aussies bring all sorts of sh*t back from wars and like the Americans were not so quick to destroy some war prizes like the Luftwaffe aircraft from WWII, you have some amazing aeroplanes that they bought back.
Arado 234 jet bomber, Dornier 335 Arrow, Horton flying wing, Heinkel 219 Owl,Focke Wulf 190D13 & the D9, Focke Wulf TA152H, Junkers JU 388
This link you may find interesting it's more photos of Mephisto in Brisbane

Re: The first Panzer...
Nicknack: thanks for the link.
According to Wikipedia, “Mephistopheles (also Mephistophilus, Mephistopheles‘, Mephostopheles, Mephisto and variants) is one of the seven princes of Hell. Originally appearing in literature as the name of the demon in the Faust legend, he has since appeared in other works as a stock character version of the Devil himself.”
