Partial floor,

At least we can put our feet through the floor and use them when the brakes fail! :-) :-)

What I find ironic is that alot of museums, legions, etc have Iltises and M113s sitting in front of the buildings and we still use them!

Next time you see an M113 infront of amuseum, look carefully. You may find it is an old US army vehicle. The track and smoke dischargers will be the giveaway.

INteresting. The ones in Borden, the War Museum and in Gagetown are US Army. Same thing in Oshawa.
