So, who is buying me a pint is the more important question.

I guess you are buying me a pint. Last November I wrote that the Netherlands government sold 35 M113 C&V and 25 YPR-765 ACV to Bahrain around 1994-1997.
How's that for a hint with a wooden clog, eh?

Thanks Rob, that's the photo I was referring to, and now that it's blown up I can clearly count the unique x4 road wheels of the Lynx/C&V.
Some cool memories of tooling down down muddy tracks in Pet with big rooster tails of muck shooting up behind us, terrified because it was waaaay too fast, but all three of us giggling like school girls over the I/C.

Cheers

As I wrote in the original post, the Iranians also have Lynxes. I don't know where this picture came from.

Around 1984 there was a re-distribution of land force equipment, and the Lynx that were in 2PPCLI were being VMO'd out to other units. I was a young craftsmen at Base Maint, and got to do the short road test out back of the shop with one of the Lynx. As we were puttering across the field, a jack rabbit jumped out of nowhere and ran. The lynx quickly gave pursuit....only the chain link fence saved the rabbit. The lynx was light, and fast. I can only imagine what would be possible if they had been re-powered to some of the new M113 power-plant configurations that are available today.
