Really?



Tortoise Tank, made by Venezuela to show them to Colombia.. seriusly, WHAT THE FUCK?

Armed with a Vickers MkIII, it was later replaced by CV33, and then in 1945 by M3 Stuarts.
 
The "Tanks" later served as letrines for the soldiers (!) untill it was rebuilt and placed in the Regiment Barracks.

Shit!!! That wins, what in the hell is that? I have never really saw something so ugly in our army before. It was good that Venezuela just supported the allies sending just oil and war supplies.

I concur with that, just that I would be vomiting for its uglyness. And the armor looks like its made of cardboard.

You guys look wrong at it, technical that is a very good design. All plates are at an angle, there is enough space to drive over bumps etc., it got an all-round traversing turret, because of the wheels probably a reasonable speed though. Only thing might be it has no anti-infantry MG. As the turret is quite high to hit close by infantry trying to shove a satchel up your exhaust pipe.

Both tanks look like they came out of the Top Gear workshop...

Not really, it has poor visability, only the 2 front portholes by the looks of it. The armour looks thin, no matter what the angle is...plus it must have a wide turn radius because the armour go down around the front wheel pretty close to them, plus the tires are still showing...which can easily be flattened, granted they are probably combat rims..but still. Not to mention the akward design which makes it harder to navigate into certain places..not to mention its weird profile which can't be hidden, and due to the front and rear..good luck on hills/ditches and more

Maybe it's not supposed to win a battle with a Tiger tank. By the looks of it, it's an excellent patrol vehicle/police vehicle.

I think it does look awesome, and the design would be advanced armoured car in the 1920's.
