What's your favourite military vehicle?

[Westmarcher]

OK. As promised in the topic, "What is your favourite military aircraft?" here is one on military vehicles.

As I mentioned in the other thread, I am fascinated with the promotional videos released by defence firms - cool machines, awesome action and often, cool music. Now and again, I find myself infatuated with a particular vehicle (I actually like more than one .... but I won't say .... in case the other one finds out). I find that I currently have a particular interest in 8x8 armoured vehicles. Because they are cheaper and more economically maintained, more and more nations are considering this option. For example, the Australians in their Land 400 project have recently narrowed their choice down to two, Rheinmetall's Boxer and Patria's AMV35, both of which I like very much (damn! I've given it away). Here is one of these videos.

[OK. So its a spoof - but I like the real thing too! (see link below) ]

Now, I know there are guys out there who like a particular tank and not just any tank; often its only a particular model of that tank.  So what's your favourite military vehicle (and if you care to explain, why)?


P.S.
The real AMV 35 .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1z0HO-KGRE
I like the Boxer too! ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrxjdbWfEk4 .... sorry .... I did it again .. didn't I?

For me it has to be the 1914 Minerva armoured car. Decided to splash out on the very expensive, but remarkably exquisite Van Dykk models.

pz II L !

HAs always been a favourite of mine, don't know why but i find it great  (also the only tank model i got from a different manufacturer, because pendraken don't do one ... yet)

Umm .. I don't really have one ... but I think I could maybe come up with a few ...

Churchill - so ugly but so versatile
T35 - so ugly but ... well useless
PzIV - the ugly sister of German WWII tanks ... served throughout the war but never as glamorous as the Panther and Tiger
StuG III - ditto
Just about any little 4 wheeled A/C - Daimler, Humber, SdKfZ 222, Autoblinda 41, Rolls Royce, Panhard 178
Oh, and the Panhard EBR. I had a Dinky model of it, and it was a chunky brute.

... and I'm sure there's one more ... but I can't quite remember ..

Probably the Churchill AVRE for me - both the basic version, and all the crazy funnies.

The Sheridan M551 - like the dual purpose primary weapon

My favourites are split between the vehicles I've known for many years, and the new stuff I've got used to in World of tanks - so my current favourites are the T-35 (monstrous monument to military posturing), and the Archer - one of the craziest and most awkward vehicles to use in World of Tanks, and one of my highest rated  )

I've also got very fond of the SU-14-2 - an SPG based on the T-35 hull. Basically a barn armed with a howitzer... 

I like the odd 'uns...

T34/76 is easily my favourite
