WW2 KV-1 Heavy Tank

WW2 KV-1 Heavy Tank


What is your favourite WW2 tank?


Classic WW2 KV-1 Heavy Tank


The KV series arose from the need t have a heavy tank to batter through fixed defences, and in 1939 Soviet Russia was the only country in the world to have such a tank in production. The KV (Klim Voroshilov) was designed in 1938 to replace the T-35 with its many turrets. Gun design had improved to the point where the 76.2mm gun could fire both HE and armour-piercing shell, alleviating the need for more than one turret. The main gun could now do all the tasks need. This allowed a smaller and better protected vehicle to be produced, and the crew was reduced by half.

VW Golf Gti Mk2 1983

VW Golf Gti Mk2 1983


What is your favorite car of all time?


VW Golf Gti Mk2 1983


The first change to the Golf Gti took place in 1983 with the introduction of the Mark 2 model. More rounded in shape than the original, perhaps the most obvious visual difference was the twin-headlight grille, although this had been a feature of the last of the Mk1 Gti's, the Campaign model. The still 1.8-litre engine now had a peak torque figure of 114ft-lbs at 3,100 rpm, its 112bhp being achieved at 5500rpm instead of 5800rpm. Disc brakes were now fitted all-round. Two years later a second Gti was added to the model line up in the form of the 139bhp 16V.
