Thought once (for about 10 seconds) about buying a T-34.

If my numbers ever come up on the lottery I'm having a T34/85, a T-62 and a BMP-1....... to start with!

I've got them sat in my cart ready to go!

Wow - the one I saw was a lot less than that. I say saw....

It would have been about 30 years ago, the company I worked for had a quarterly branch sales award - the top branch got £2,500 to spend on a jolly. We'd won the prize one quarter but someone had lost the round tuit, so the dosh was unspent. It started to look like we might be top branch that quarter as well, so we decided to hang on and see if we had £5K to spend. And we did end up winning.

By chance someone had seen an ad in E&M, there was a T-34 for sale for £5K, and said "hey - let's buy a tank!". "Where would we park it?" was one response. "Anywhere we b****y well like", I said. Gunnersbury Park was one idea (the office backed onto it).

Then we decided to have a 2-day one night jolly at a country park hotel, doing waterskiing, jetskiing, clay shooting, archery, thrashing round in Honda Pilots, drinking far too much at dinner etc.

Maybe have one of these while you wait.

1. Oh come on - surely they could have made it with a diesel engine?
2. Presumably it would not be allowed to have one of these with working cannons and bombs?
