Here's a King Tiger tank. It still runs. How do I know? There's soot in the exhaust.

Tiger tanks are cool but I much prefer the Panthers.

This King Tiger is believed to be the only one in the world in running order. It carries the turret number "233" and has taken part in some 'Carrousel' dynamic displays. It is coated with Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine paste. It was restored using parts from a number of other vehicles, and its batteries were generously provided by Varta.

Incredible. Would have loved to see this guy in Fury, along with it's predecessor.

I've heard it referred to as "checking the oil"

I got really lucky. We visited the Saumur tank museum today. Just when we arrived there the museum guys were unloading the Königstiger from a trailer. We managed to hear it run. It was awesome experience.
I took a GoPro video but it probably isn't very good. I hope that at least the sounds are decent. Here's a picture.
