      who is Ken Turner?

      98 year old WW2 Normandy veteran who carried a piece of tank in his neck for 50 years according to BBC

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0j2s9cq

      I can’t find any reporting on where he got the tank from but there’s a museum in the Midlands and another in Surrey with plenty of working WW2 era tanks - it wouldn’t have been too hard to rustle one up. I’m betting it’s this one, it’s the largest.

          It wasn’t pre-flattened. Watch the video

            Was it not preflattened moments before Ken rolled over it with his Sherman?

              Nope

              Edit I’ve just rewatched the video 3 times and I can’t fathom where you’re getting that idea from. It’s a normal model 3 then it’s a model 3 with a tank on it.

              If you really think there’s shenanigans then post a pic highlighting where you think you can see it

                Friend, you are misunderstanding me. It was in a tesla’s model 3’s normal shape, quoting myself, it was “not preflattened”. Before being flattened it existed in a state previous (pre) to it’s post-flattened state. I was trying to be clever, and only succeeded in confusing you, unintended consequence. Apologies offered.
