The Sparkle Tank
I'm really sorry I couldn't make Manchester Pride.. it always clashes with a family birthday. I would have so loved to have gone this year. Leah was telling me about this tank she was trying to hire. I didn't quite believe she was going to pull off "A giant pink tank that blew bubbles"
But she did. And the photos look amazing! Kudos for everyone who took part...

That's rather cool. And the contrast between macho killing machine, and feminine pink paint job is rather fun
...
Although technically it's not a tank, its an Abbot Self-Propelled-Gun. (I'm so sorry, I tried to bite my tongue, but misnaming AFV's is a personal bugbear of mine)

Loving the pink tank (obviously not literally, that would be kinky). The outfits are very cool.

To those that call cars cars, planes planes and trees trees this is a tank. It is pink and there is a bloke inside driving it - bit like the tank-top wearing tank top "girls". Still when you can shoot 15km it is difficult to be precise.
Oh - gosh almost didn't realise that it was about publicity and dare I say fun.
Well done girls.

@Lucinda. I'm quite happy for people to call it a "tank" although as its not a tank, but an artillery piece, its more akin to calling a bush a tree, or a dress a skirt. Close enough for comprehension but a mini annoyance for us nit-pickers. :)
But it does look fun. And the girls look great.

Don't want kudos, Jo. Want cake!
Some new feet wouldn't go amiss either...
I am very, very proud to have served in the Sparkle Army and there are also some fantastic pics, just like Jo sez.
And I'm not going to further the nitpicking but I know exactly where Pandora's coming from, though hopefully not in a cerise FV433...
OK. I'll take some kudos. In pink.
