My other ride is Tank!

[Paint it Pink]

From a realistic perspective, actually go out and buy one (member of the MVT so have friends who have tanks) then a Honey or a Chaffee. Small, easily maintained, relatively easy to transport, and both have bags of charm.

Small, easily maintained, relatively easy to transport, and...bags of charm.

At 5' 6" that sounds, disturbingly, like me y'know 

[sebigboss79]

Really?!  'By common consent'?

Not sure about that old boy.

Yep even the British admitted it. Well, in 1945 they did.

As someone said earlier the "practical" choice would be chaffees or stuarts but i have always had a spot for jagdpanthers.  however the "practical"  choice would be the hetzer.

Jagdpanther if you call it a tank
German would be a MkIII
British Cromwelll
American/British Lee/Grant
Russian KV1

thats about my list really

[DanJ]

From the point of view of looks and personality I'd go for one of the early/mid war stuff which generally has a more quirky feel than the later "uber" machines.

A9 Cuiser
Matilda
Panzer II and III
M3 Lee

Late war probably the Churchill Croc

[Hurrah]

I like my tanks like a footballer likes his cars/wags, fast, good looking and topless! So its gotta be an M18 Hellcat!

[Jerrylee]

Panther, love the shape, sex on tracks!:)

KV-1 sounds pretty good, but it's slow as h***. 
Jagdpanther - tank destroyer?

[Womble67]

For me, it would have to be Panzer IV Ausf. G  Sd.Kfz. 161/1 workhorse of the Wehrmacht

I picked Sherman because, quite frankly, it's a pain trying to get parts for foreign vehicles.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

But the Sherman is a FOREIGN Vehicle - from Detriot.

But the nearly identical grizzly was made at the Montreal Locomotive Works. 

And there is an M4 parked outside the local armory.  If they find it up on blocks one morning you'll know what happened.

Not when you live on that side of the Atlantic...
