Rob.
Congrats on getting the BGC back on the road again, but don't get me started on the thrills of modern day media!

Maybe I will stir the pot up and write a letter to my MP asking where I can obtain an M113 to use as a Halloween Lawn Decoration this Fall. I'll tell him I want to set it up with the back end facing the front sidewalk and the ramp down, with a pair of kids running shoes sticking out from under the edge of it. Top it all off with a Stephen Harper look a like sitting inside with a bag of candy asking the kids to come inside for a treat.

David: There are not supposed to be politics on this forum, especially not poking frun at St Stephen. I should think Justin Trudeau in the back of the carrier offering pot to the kiddies would be much more truthful and scary.

I did that ramp thing at the 2VP shop back in the 80s. We stuck some rubber boots on a pair of coveralls, had the ramp dropped across the boots, and one arm of the coverall with a glove holding a wrench sticking out the side. We just about gave the old ET a heart attack when he came out of the control office.

I'm Canadian, I own a M113A2 in restoration, but for sure not a Canadian one! It will be Canadian but not originaly! , You can go see my Facebook Page, just write: militaro.

I've imported 2 from Germany, ex M901. Probably writed scrap from the scrap yard as I didn't have problems and imported them here!
