So I was in Montreal on work and came across this...

[2Greys]

Hadn't seen one in real life but it was pretty nice.

 

[Root Moose]

Yep, they rock.

Too bad when Crown Assets ends up selling them to the public all that will be left is a big grease smear and rust.

 

[Dirk]

Yeah, real nice rigs. I see them alot in Arnprior at Tim Horton's.

 

[SuziCrazy]

Pimp!

 

[Mitko]

Have seen some. Very close.

 

[2Greys]

I was hoping to see a Leopard as well but none were out

 

[O.D.]

We don't get them to sell. They go to Michener Allen (I. E. Rideau Auction).....

But yeah, your right. They are typically completely bastardized by that point anyways.

 

[Generalchaos]

That's the G-wagon......not to bad for a run around vehicle. I'm not sure if they have already started selling them though.

I do miss the iltis.....that was one awesome little vehicle.

And yes I'm qualified and have driven a leopard

Dont mind one completelly bastardized, still a lot of usefull parts for mine. Where to sign .

 

[Generalchaos]

I can back that up, he was going to stop in one night while they were on manouvers.....and Karen and I were in the Hot Tub. Now that would have been interesting!!!hehehehehehe

That's the coyote (8x8 with a 25mm cannon). Leopard is a bit big to be maneuvering around your small streets

[DoctorPhate]

Ugh.... Leapard 2... *drools*

 

[Root Moose]

This is my drool.

 

[Mitko]

Some day, some day !

Working for it.

BTW just the rims (Hutchinson 2 piece with runflat) cost more than s/o jeeps.

 

[Root Moose]

I hear the stock tires are crap above ~70 km/h - white-knucklers.

Mitko! Look out in the lane way - you already have one!

 

[Mitko]

One Mercedes is not enough. Never. Period.

BTW the Bulgarian Army got their Gwagens before the Forces Canada. I was still there and knowing the proper people had a chance to shot a lot of pictures of the undercariage, interiior and stuff. Very intresting. Food for thought.

 

[Generalchaos]

I don't have any experiance with the vehicle as I'm not qualifyied it, or have driven in it much.

But from what I know....... It has 4x4 (obviously) and electric locking front and rear diffs, that take a few secs to kick, so your screwed when your already stuck. While I was overseas, I didn't see the vehicle very much outside of the main camp. We used the LAV's alot more. It's a run around more civilianised usage type vehicle. It's a good replacement for the ilitis for modernisation.

Wish I could tell you guys more about it

Electric activated/hydraulics actuated front, center and rear locking difs.
