If I was a car, I guess I would love to be a Lamborghini, so that people would point and stare at me commenting how fast I am as I go past and once I stop they would walk up to me for a good look and think WOW, that`s beautiful but in reality I` probably a VOLVO. Built strong, not big on speed, like to keep everybody safe but not many people admit to liking.

I'd probably be an FJ holden ute with a few miles on the clock and a few scuffs and dents here and there but still a reliable goer.

I'd love to be a Zonda but probably more like a Great Wall 4x4 :p Partly dodgy build quality, unreliable and unpredictable in the case of an emergency.

Only problem JasRob if every one is passing you they must be a better model and/or drivers

On that note H2, my little bro has a hsv R8 clubsport with the usual aftermarket rims / cam / loud exhaust / super dark window tint and has told me often it's not about driving fast but going slow so everyone notices him...

You would have hated me about 10 years ago!

My first car was a modified 2000 WRX STi... :D Great times for an 18yo but I guess we must all grow up. Now I much prefer to go unnoticed!

I will be an Alfa Romeo 8C - Pretty in a manly way with the sound to match. Can I have it in black please?

For starters, something diesel - takes a lot of compression to get me fired up and as long as I get my oil changed regularly I'm pretty low maintenance. Yep diesel, not a lot of power but plenty of talkque. Slow to get going but once i've picked up a bit of speed I'll go for ever and a day to get where I want to go.
Pretty tall, not flashy or an instant chick magnet but at the same time, not offensive to look at, not really intrusive but like to able to accommodate those who want to journey together......i often don't know exactly where I'm going until I'm almost there even with others' guidance....lastly i'm a little bit of a wanderer........

Got it - 1995 Toyota Hiace TAXI

No idea what type of car it is H2 but its blazing obvious that car and Tigers should not be on the street.

I'd have to say I'd be Chevrolet Suburban LTZ :)
Big, solid, a little outdated but brash and bold at the same time.
Pamper the people on the inside in ultimate luxury, while not taking any S**t from anything on the outside.

Love the armoured variety but couldn't bring one home with me :-(

The heroes of the Soviet Union would disagree.

Conclusions Regarding the T-34’s Overall Performance as a ‘War Winner’

The T-34 is possibly the only weapon system in history to be rated by most commentators as the finest all round weapon in a century of warfare, and yet never consistently achieved anything better than a one to three kill-loss ratio against its enemies.(21) The fact that the USSR produced 54 550 T-34s (easily the most widely produced tank of WWII) and hence produced a ‘war winning’ tank is a separate strategic level discourse and should not be confused with giving the T-34 credit for being effective at the tactical level.

Undoubtedly the T-34 went a long way to enabling the USSR to be ultimately victorious, but the price was huge with approximately 44 900 T-34s (82% of total production) being irrecoverably lost. Soviet output during WWII was 99 150 fully tracked AFVs (including all types of assault and self-propelled guns) produced from June 1941 to May 1945, and an additional 11 900 tanks and self-propelled guns received via Lend Lease.(22) The Germans are often criticised for their low tank production during WWII: being accused of producing too few high quality tanks with too many refinements and excessive quality control during production. In support of this statement the figure of only 26 900 German tanks is quoted as being produced during WWII. However tanks formed only part of German AFV production: they actually produced 26 925 tanks, 612 command tanks, 232 flame tanks, 10 550 assault guns, 7 831 tank destroyers, and 3 738 assault and self-propelled artillery AFVs, from 1938 to May 1945.(23) A total of around 49 900 fully tracked AFVs out of a total production of 89 254 AFVs of all types. This represents around 50% of Soviet fully tracked AFV production during WWII. It should be remembered (a fact that seems to be often forgotten) that Allied strategic bombing reduced German AFV production by at least 10% in 1943, 40% in 1944 and even more during 1945, exactly when German AFV production had peaked.

Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon - practical, reliable, unpretentious, do most things well, and comfortable with and under my skin.
