      The the M3 Grant was the mainstay of the Australian armoured forces during WWII. Until such time as you have the 3 Barn find M3's in running order, forget about the Sherman. This world doesn't need another running Sherman, honest.

      there were a few hat had some issues, on Saturday when I was mid way thru a ride in the spartan quite allot of white smoke started coming out of the engine deck, not sure what it was but it was out of action for the rest of the weekend but it was replaced buy a sabre, so not too much difference and I think the M8 greyhound also had some mechanical problems but it was back for Sunday, but its not entirely unexpected some of the vehicles are so popular they are almost running non stop so things are bound to break eventually

    We had planned this Father and Son trip for 4 years and we loved every minute.
    Such an unique museum where rare and valuable military vehicles are not just painted and polished up and put on static display, but kept in running condition, and driven through mud and dirt as they were designed - and then on top of that you also have the opportunity to actually ride onboard!
    Fabulous!
    An amazing museum and even more amazing event - it was well worth the trip over from Perth.
    Big thanks to Darryl, Jason, and the two twins - Phil and Nick who were all too happy to pause for a quick photo and chat.
    Best Regards to Jason and the team at Ausarmour.
    We will certainly be back
    Regards
    Brett and Riley.

      From memory of a conversation I had with one of the guys there it's proving quite difficult to get either the swing arms or torsion bars for for it. They don't want to but maybe have to manufacture the parts. Also no plans to run a Maybach but rather a more conventional diesel (Unless one appears somewhere)

    pretty damn stunning stuff - and the rain made it so much better, although i have to say to make things even better for both your visitors and the museum etc - it be real cool to have an area cordoned off for photo shoots, its a real bonus to be able to get shots with nothing civilian or 20th century around, perfect for any model enthusiasts
    drive a tank round your grounds and line up for some descent photos without all the modern clutter, fencing, mine tape, traffic cones etc, just natural foliage would be perfect - shows i used to attend had great setups, vehicles with authentic kit laying about, tents for backdrops etc, not unlike a re-enactment set, nothing worse than having images of great tanks and a marshal stood by wearing a high vis vest - what an epic event down under
