ask the police only a phone call away and they don't care about punctuation or spelling

It's a bit hard to drive a tandem trailer regardless of your licence. Towing is a different matter.

And yet you failed to use capitals, at the beginning of each sentence, and fullstops, at the end of each!

Have you ever seen one of them go. Amazing. I saw a whole pile of them playing at Fort Knox Ky. Roaring clouds of dust with a HUGE lump if tin in the middle.

My brother in law just completed change over training. He stated the Abrahams tank will do 80kmph on the open road! The smoothbore gun very accurate and self calibrates itself after every few shots to allow for movement during firing. Not as comfortable as a Leopard though.
