M-8 Greyhound.

I like to ride in style, so I guess it has to be a m3 halftrack ....

If modern, then a Eagle from Mowag ...

Since we've just had a massive 75mm of snow and everyone is acting like it's the end of civilisation, probably one of these

Hello Gents!
I must add further, the vehicle I would like to drive to work , is a LAV III , like in my last post, but it is wheeled . For a tracked vehicle , it would be a Leopard C1/C2, or a Leopard 2A5/A6, these Cats are AWESOME ! Plus the Cats are relatively easy to maintain , and offer good mileage.The only downfall is lack of space for the kids. So again , Happy Modelling !

You can hit a stationary Target at 2900 meters with Sabot, with a stationary Leopard C1, at nite. Stabilized Lazing Technique. Range 7B, Bergen Hohne, Germany.

I'd say M4A1E8, but still...

That, or an M8 for those times when you want some speed and/or are low on fuel...

Stryker.............. Wheeled still moves and I think 8 wheels are cheaper than 2 sets of track(pads)

I live in the Shetland Islands so it would be nice to have the option of going to work by sea. Thats why i would have a AAV-7A1. It would save me money on the inter island ferries and might even get me to Aberdeen instead of taking the ferry.

It would be fun to see how far I could get (Bergen, Norway 362Km) .

Personally I'd have a Ferret Mk 1 as a sportster runabout to get me to and from work.and to take the missus out in the evening (like she'd ever set foot in it!) . However with two teenaged girls who are into sports like hockey with lots of equipment, I'd need something bigger for the whole family, so I was thinking of getting a Saracen. With the 6 wheels and the rear cargo door, it's great for the modern family and with the new models coming with the DVD system for the kids in the back seat and individual climate controls for the rear seats, it's always a crowd pleaser. In addition, the multiple sun roofs make it easy for everyone to drive the way they want...

For me it has to be a classic Panther Ausf G, great to take out the frustation of a busy commute

StagHound Should do the trick.

can i answer again?

swedish S-tank - looks very sporty

I would go for a King Tiger (Henschel Turret). I really love those tanks. They are very intimidating.

Semper Fi!

That's actually an American T28 Heavy Tank aka T95 Gun Motor Carriage.
It's armour was designed to be proof against any known enemy tanks and was designed for attacking heavily fortified positions .
It was going to be used in Japan but the A-Bomb put that plan on the shelf.
One was found on a target range in the U.S.A., buried under years of brush.
It's sitting at a museum somewhere in the lower 48.

jjumbo

p.s I think Accurate Armour used to produce a kit.

Sitting in rush hour traffic is not a problem, there isn't any in this part of the world. The problem is tourists in camper vans, inter-city couriers and freight trucks, so what is needed is something with a bit of road presence :-) :-) :-) :-)



cheers

Great Topic!! M8 Greyhound. It's good to go topless here.

I've been saying for some time that if this demented government we have here bans motorcycles (purely for our own good of course), I shall buy a military vehicle, & drive it down the fast lane of the motorway @ 30 mph, or maybe 25 (Chieftain!) in the rush hour. I work shifts, so I'd have plenty of time available to make everyone elses life a misery, which is the point of the exercise. It would probably have to be something recent, or at least post-war, British & available, so a Saracen, Humber Pig, Fox or Scorpion (it has a Jaguar engine you know!) would do just fine. I'd also drive it flat out everywhere else, especially where it wasn't appropriate, & no, I wouldn't brake for slower traffic ahead (especially caravans!).

id probly have any series of the tiger tank,its some thing like 60 odd ton of pure car crushing material BUT i would do a engine transplate becuase i dont want to be stoping every 40 mins to let it cool down or do maintance on it,but if it was a pursuit with 8,9 ,10 cops on my tail just swing round the 88 n boom.well at least dreams are free (for now) lol

Definitely the abrams with mine plow to sweep them road hoggers to one side.

Aww jeeze

"T-28

This is the sole survivor of a two vehicle super heavy tank program designed to deal with the Siegfried Line. Completed in December 1945, too late to see combat, it was not surprisingly impractical for battlefield use. With frontal armor of 12 inches, the vehicle weighed 95 tons and required four tracks. The tank featured a horizontal volute suspension and a 105 mm gun. Powered by the same V-8 used in the Pershing, the vehicle could only manage 8 mph."


I'm gonna be late again. Ah well.
And as for being designed in 1945, she looks pretty modern to me.

That one.
But because of gas prices I would have to report bankrupcy after couple of seconds.

Well, let's see. I only live about 10 minutes from the school where I work, but that school is in the "hood" in Baltimore, one of the murder capitals of the USA......I think an LAV 25 would be fine. I don't think the crackheads have RPGs, and it's more maneuverable and faster than a tank. Plus, I'd have the chain gun to deal with any "issues" that might arise.

No idea what the hell this is. But It'd be a hella fun to drive down the street on.

She is sitting near the path that takes you into the Patton Museum on Ft. Knox. That baby has 4 sets of track. Try and imagine changing/breaking track on the inside track. Ouch!!

Scouts out

Since the third world war seems imminent i´d be driving one of these babies to work. Equiped whit maximum radiation protection and designed no to flip over when hit by the shockwave.

But most likely it would the Swedish Stridsvagn 103 ( S-tank). In the case of a trafficjam , just push the throttle and you´ll be litteraly flying away.

I would definitly drive either (a) a sherman M1A1 because it is my favorite tank or (b) a panther II because it is a such a gigantic

If gas prices and track replacemrent wasn't an issue, I'd pick an Abrams. No one would dare to cut you off or tailgate you once you lay in that 120-mm smoothbore.

But a LAV-25 would be fun too. While I do not consider myself to be a bloodthirsty person, sometimes a burst of 25-mike-mike would go a long way.....................
