Rode in an old army tank today, emblazoned with the slogan, ?Designing to destroy, now restoring Lives.? They use it in their anger management program. Usually the clients spend a lot of time in a workshop then they write down things on an old car. They each get a sledge hammer and smash the car until they cannot move their shoulders anymore - exhaustion! Then as a group they select someone to drive the army tank over the smashed car!!! On this occasion Elwyn needed to drag/move a steel structure/tower a couple of hundred metres. Sam was first in the driver?s seat, he looked like he was king of the world as Elwyn taught him to steer and stop the tank. Then Nat had a go after the tower was hooked on. Elwyn had to keep checking the progress of the tower being pulled behind him and since there is no rear view mirror nor back window, Nat got to steer it carefully herself. We have been getting the kids to drive the car (sitting on our lap) all around the property, so their steering is getting pretty good. Shay got to drive the tractor later with Elwyn but was a tad disappointed that she didn?t steer the tank, only rode in it.
