I love how you interact your family and the smile on your dads face was lovely. I’ve got an idea for your tank, you should organise a big day/ weekend family event / expodition where all your followers can come to meet you. Invite all the other TH-camrs along that you’ve had on your channel over the last few years, invite the army down and other forces and let’s make it a proud to be British weekend and celebrate everything we’ve got and achieved. Have weight lifting trials for kids, have mma rings, wall,climbing rigs, food stalls, sponsor stalls, Beast Pharm stall and the highlight of the day/weekend would be to see how many followers it takes to beat your tank in a tug of war. Big love the Beast 💪🏼
Ald also set up a few PC's with big screens and make the guests and kid play "War Thunder". I checked the game: the ABBOTT 433 tank is not featured currently. But there are other British tanks of the same era.

Next time u need to fill it take it to a truck stop or a garage with a truck pump. That way u wont have to keep stopping. U may need to prove payment though. Maybe get urself a fuel card and that will get u savings too. Just a thought
Hey Eddie! I absolutely love the content of your second tank! 🚜 It’s incredible to see you taking it for a spin and having so much fun. The reactions from people are priceless! Can’t wait to see what other crazy adventures you have planned with it. Keep up the awesome work, Beast! 💪🔥 The next tank challenge should be navigating the tank through a series of obstacles, like tight turns, ramps, and maybe even some water hazards.
Hello Eddie. I am quite a stranger to the strongest man's world. But after watching quite a bunch of your youtube, I definitely appreciate what an athlete you are. Besides that, I appreciate a lot your sense of humour! Here is a silly idea that I believe can fit both your silliness and your competitive spirit: can you find a champion of Ping-pong, and compete with him? Every time someone win a point, he grabs an heavier racket (or weights his wrist).
I was a gun smith in the Army and part of my MOS was charged with maintaining and repairing many weapons including the M2 50. The M2 with barrel weighs 86 pounds.
That is not a silencer, it is a fume extractor. Does exactly what it says on the tin, vents toxic fumes after firing so that the crew doesn't have to breathe it. 😊
❤😂🎉 My colleague was in The British Army . I found out he had been a Driver . He said that tanks were an affordable way to travel as: "Nobody can stop you !"
Eddie, had to doubletake then, you live next door to the house I grew up in, that's surreal! I remember your house being built, it was the talk of the locals as it was so unusual! Glad you got the second tank home!
It's a great great tank! - It would be good to get Colin Furze to engineer a spring loaded flag which unfurls out of the barrel with the word BANG! written on it, when you press a button.. Lots of fun!!
@@jesusvaldez8677 It's not "potato potatoe". It's like saying a bicycle is the same thing as a motorcycle. Modern tanks have armor around 500mm. This thing has about 10mm. They weigh about 50-70+ tons and this weighs around 16-17.
I would love to see if you could find someone who used the tank whilst in service in the army. that could be an interesting videos seeing who used it and where in the world. I have no idea if this would even be possible but would be cool.
Wouldn't be too hard, the tank was retired just over 30 years ago in 1993. It served mostly in Germany during the cold war, it never really saw combat though.
You should visit Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset and see some real tanks . I was in the Royal Armoured Corps for 12 years. My Regiment was The Queens Royal Irish Hussars and I was a driver mech on Scimitars , Chieftains, and Challenger 1. Loved them all but the Chally was my number 1. Health to enjoy your vehicles. Taddy.
hey @eddie hall the beast you might want to try a commercial refuelling station if it all possible (where lorries fill up) they have much larger nozzle that can pump upwards of 2 litres of second, and if there is a transaction amount limit, it will be well above 120 quids. Cheers mate! neat tank!
The SPG is an artillery piece, not a tank so it should stand up to comparison with the first. In reality, the advantage of SPGs over conventional artillery is that they can keep up with advancing armour spearheads without the need to set up and break down the gun for every firing.
Finally someone who knows the diff between a tank and a SPG Now i want to see Eddie in a Sherman or something. Those are still affordable for a tank, right?
The intro sequence was a cinematic work of art. From the first moment I thought, "he tripped and fell and accidentally bought a tank." Brilliant. The physical comeday was worthy of Sir Atkinson, Danny Kaye, and Charlie Chaplin.

Ah, brings back memories of my Royal Artillery days! We used to have these before we upgraded to the M109 for the Gulf and then the AS-90. Funny you mention a .50 cal; we had a GPMG on top. And you are missing the most important part, the bivvy in the back door for brewing a cuppa. Classic. By the way, it's a self-propelled gun, not a tank.
Do self propelled guns have a lighter rating than Main Battle Tanks when it comes to protecting the crew inside of it? Or can this Self Propelled gun vehicle withstand some of the incoming impact comparable with an APC?
British Army 20 years , thats not a tank , its Self propelled gun ( SPG ) It's a artillery piece , know as an abbott used by the artillery , basicly a long range gun that gives support to the infantry , good bit of kit but its not Designed to be used as a Main battle tank such as challenger , its role was to provide fire surrport , still cool bit of kit and its well ace you got one. But i thought you would like to know what it was used for , hey maybe you should get in contact with the tank Museum and see if you can drive that around tank fest. Sorry i used to be Anti tanks and was bit of a spotter at it.
I love that you personally know so much about these tanks. You do your own voice overs and it really seems like you care about the history of these machines.
No you didn't. You bought an Abbot Self Propelled Gun. It's a tracked, lightly armoured chassis with a 105mm light gun. It's designed to provide fire support to infantry from a mobile platform. You need to acquire a Chieftain.
@@RJ-vy9chnot true. You can buy Chieftains privately. Also loads of ex Russian stuff around as well. There are loads of proper tanks available privately
You can hook the 50 cal up to a propane tank and shoot it. It's really loud and shoots big fireballs! Stacey David did it on Gearz when he built Srg Rock.
I would love to see you visit the Militracks event in Overloon Netherlands next year. They drive the tanks there on a dirt track and stuff so this would be very fun for you as well. Hop to see you there next year :D: Congrats and much fun with this tiny new vehicle
First scene when you slipped, i thought to myself.. IF he edits this in a way where he is gonna slip his way to buying the tank, i will acknowledge you as a genius. 10/10 lets goo Eddie.

Eddie is such a child good to see he’s loving living his best life
pity in UK you do not have the filling station for trucks ;)
we actually do for hgvs at most petrol stations, im not sure why he didn’t use one of them. better content probably.
Please explain?
Where do you think trucks get fuel in the UK?
@@slyfondle1885 definitely not from the pump Eddie filled in the tank 's tank. :))))
British Army 20 years , thats not a tank , its Self propelled gun ( SPG ) It's a artillery piece , know as an abbott used by the artillery , basicly a long range gun that gives support to the infantry , good bit of kit but its not Designed to be used as a Main battle tank such as challenger , its role was to provide fire surrport , still cool bit of kit and its well ace you got one. But i thought you would like to know what it was used for , hey maybe you should get in contact with the tank Museum and see if you can drive that around tank fest. Sorry i used to be Anti tanks and was bit of a spotter at it.
But but ... shouldn't he go to the self propelled gun museum and drive that around self propelled gun fest?
Same as his other tank, right?
By definition that IS a tank. Therefore he can call it as such (whether or not the military agree, doesn't matter. As he's still correct)
Stolen valor bot nobody cares about your dumb military terminology
If a 4 year old lad would call it a tank then its a tank.
Get a life 😂
Love the intro lol 😂
💯😅👍🏾
Living The DREAM!!! God Bless You Eddie and Family.
Have a Drag race with Matt from CarWow. You in the Tank and Matt in the Peel P50!!!!
Cant imagine eddie going to groceries with his tank that hilarious 😂😂😂
I love that you personally know so much about these tanks. You do your own voice overs and it really seems like you care about the history of these machines.
It isn’t a tank?
@@TheMikeTBnobody cares about military terminology - it’s a tank
@@TheMikeTB Thats not the same thing
@@TheMikeTB Who cares mate
@@TheMikeTB You must be fun on the battlefield
Eddie, please reach out to the UNSUBSCRIBE Podcast so they can have you in as a guest. It would be fantastic to see you on there!!!
No you didn't. You bought an Abbot Self Propelled Gun. It's a tracked, lightly armoured chassis with a 105mm light gun. It's designed to provide fire support to infantry from a mobile platform. You need to acquire a Chieftain.
You’ll never own a tank
@@RJ-vy9chnot true. You can buy Chieftains privately. Also loads of ex Russian stuff around as well. There are loads of proper tanks available privately
I'd love to see Eddie go get an FV721 Fox I think he would love it!
You can hook the 50 cal up to a propane tank and shoot it. It's really loud and shoots big fireballs! Stacey David did it on Gearz when he built Srg Rock.
i wish i could accidentally pay my rent
Do you mean I bought an OTHER tank... 😅You already have one... Why buy a second one? Are you preparing a war?
Another tank you mean 😂😂
Those 2stroke multifuels sound immense, totally ace 😂.
Eddie would love to see you have a go at tractor pulling with the tank!
$7 per gallon of diesel. That's rough! 😅
with fueling if you take it to the hgv pumps there is no limit on what you can put in as most hgv need £700/£800 to fill up
I would love to see you visit the Militracks event in Overloon Netherlands next year. They drive the tanks there on a dirt track and stuff so this would be very fun for you as well.
Hop to see you there next year :D:
Congrats and much fun with this tiny new vehicle
First scene when you slipped, i thought to myself.. IF he edits this in a way where he is gonna slip his way to buying the tank, i will acknowledge you as a genius. 10/10 lets goo Eddie.
yes, but I would like to know whose idea that was. Might not have been his idea, maybe his editor's? anyways, really funny
A drive-in cinema seems like a lot of fun, especially if you show up in a tank!.
Hope he never goes mental and heads out on a rampage. He and his two tanks would be a hell of a thing to try and stop 😮
Tearing up the tarmac, and I think because of the age of the vehicle, not even paying any road tax? Winning!
Your driving has improved a lot! Nice!
Could you imagine something that huge, loud and heavy stumbling through the neighborhood? Thankfully the only thing that happened was Eddie getting a new tank.
Someone who is actually living the british dream... that is a big balls tank, go on eddie the beast
