I think I'd like something on the order of:

Armored Ground Vehicles - Both tracked and wheeled military vehicles.
Unarmored Ground Vehicles - military being left out of the title, but to be assumed.
Civilian Ground Vehicles - Everything from a bicycle to a strip coal mining dump truck (not really the last part, but just an idea of the scope).

Military Aircraft - Maybe broken up into helicopters and fixed-wing as separate releases.
Civilian Aircraft - Similar to the ground version, except from an ultra-light to an A380.

Military Watercraft - Maybe limit the scope so that the same title doesn't have a Zodiac craft an a Nimitz-class carrier in the same book (or maybe so).
Civilian Watercraft - From a bass boat to a 250,000 ton oil tanker (or cruise ship).

And all titles in both Modern (TL 7-8 since quite a bit of military equipment in use is still TL 7), World Wars/Pulp (1900-1950), Ultra-Tech, lower TL High tech and Low Tech, all depending on relevance and demand.

Okay, here's my question...

What 4e Vehicles .pdfs do people want to see written and published as e23 e-books? What is the wish list of the Hive Mind? :)

As it's you asking: civilian Traveller vehicles. Assorted air/rafts and stuff I could give my multimillionaire ISW char without resorting to Grav Carriers, speeders or air/rafts.
Contragrav expedition / camping vehicles with TL lenses.

OTOH, I wouln't complain if you send this to JTAS instead. ;)

Oh, don't worry. Many, many things have been planned for JTAS. Actually, this thread...

http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=64337

...should answer some of your questions on what I'm going to try to send to JTAS in the next several months.

(Oh, in case anyone was curious, getting the Fer-de-Lance to do roughly everything it's supposed to do, according to Fighting Ships, using the 4e ship design system for GURPS Traveller is a major pain in the [censored]. But it will probably be part of an article I'll be sending to Loren sometime in the next few weeks.)

In order of desire:
1. Cyberpunk/near-future
2. Space/far-future (not space/starships, of course -- ground vehicles, auxiliary vehicles, things like that)
3. Modern aircraft (including things like hang gliders, airships and hypersonic liners)
