The tradition goes way back. We have photos of it being done back in WW2 at A4 RCATC in Brandon, although not quite as fancy since the limber was still in service.

I have to open the shop for the driver on Saturday....hopefully I'll be able to snap a shot as they cruise down the main drag of Shilo.

A good friend of mine had a military wedding in the 1960s that involved a ride on one of these fine contraptions. It must have been good luck as they are still very much in love and remain happily married today - so sayeth the wife...

I suspect that if you can get a woman in her $2,000 dress to get onto that thing, she's a keeper.

I had the young Captain ride on it during the road test today so he knew what she was going to have to put up with.

Rob, you should enter it to the next MVPA Convention or talk with Reg about having it on the cover of Army Motors.

OK, now that's just plain weird.

But to each his own.
