I understand that he's talking about going back next year, if he wins again they may be forced too.
I used to ride a lot(150-200 miles a week) Armstrong is an ANIMAL.

Some U.S. models did, I believe the Germans didn't but they had exits on the side hull on some early models PzIIIs. The Soviets had them on some models. As far as I know it wasn't really a common practice.

It's getting hard to imagine a Tour de france without Lance Armstrong.

Not me. I figure the french needed to see who they were surrendering to in the dark.

"LOL. Sometimes it's spitballs and empty cans."


That remindeds me about a speech by Winston Churchill that I heard played on the radio in remembrance of his passing when I was a wee lad.

To quote less or more, We will fight them on the seas, on the beaches, in the air , with empty beer bottles, cause thats about all we have left, but we will fight them.

I make no warranty claims that I got the quote exactly right but that was the gist of it.

I would not be surprised that some one posts a link to that speech :-)

Fantastic slide show! THIS is what the American people should see, instead of Cheeseburger Moore's lies.

Thanks for another Treadhead Tuesday.

One of the things that got to me about this tank was the lack of a turret basket, using a synchronized floor plate instead. It'd be real easy for a loader to get himself killed in that thing.

Did the 54/55 also have that fuel tank/ammo honeycomb in the front, like the 62? That was gonna be my aiming point if I ever had the chance.
