Vietnamese dad converts van into a wooden tank for son
A Vietnamese father has spent hundreds of hours and invested thousands in converting an old van into a wooden tank for his son, an unusual hobby in a country once ravaged by war.
Every weekend, Truong Van Dao trundles what was once a 16-seat minibus around his neighbourhood in Bac Ninh province, east of capital Hanoi, with his three-year-old son sat proudly in the turret.
The wooden vehicle, based on a French EBR105 model and complete with a 2.8-metre-long replica gun, cost $11,000 to convert.
"My son and I find it more fun riding the tank, which has nothing to do with weapons or war," Dao told AFP.
