Canadian military has been using the Pirahna known formerly as a Grizzly/Cougar then Bison and now LAV since the 80's. Tons of fun to drive!!

Yup - I remember a trainload of Canadian Grizzly's painted up in light tan camo loading at the old BC Rail reload in North Van bound for assessment by the Marines at Pendleton in the USA - probably around 1983-1985 era. Read about it later in the Esprit De Corps and they were raving about the trials......seems they bought a ton of them shortly thereafter. But doubt they were made by Bombardier as ours were.....Canada's always been pretty shy about joining the arms race, well - directly anyway. Same goes for the much improved C7 (Canadian M16 variant) that Canada wouldn't sell to Sweden!!!!!....so they went with an FNC variant made by Carl Gustav called the AK5. Damn...it's tough being Canadian....the Iltis cost us over $50,000 per unit because they had to be made by Bombardier...if we bought them from Germany direct, it would have been about $20,000 a piece (and they were worth alot less in my opinion).

Cool, Canadian rednecks are just dying to take that to Stave Lake, get the MOWAGE stuck, and post pictures of the extraction all over varies web forums.

The super duper slippery northern Thai mud would stop it!!!

Edit - Ps, without the armamant it looks kinda like a D5.

:-D
