Default Ram Kangaroo on 401 westbound

Anyone know anything about a Ram Kangaroo or at least what looked like one.

It was west bound on the 401 around the Coburg area today around 1pm.

Seemed to be clean and tidy and painted.

Sure, it's on its way to St. Thomas (Elgin Regt.) for the 'Kangaroo's' guidon presentation this weekend. 60-odd years late but the Regiment will finally get their colours.

It's the Kangaroo at the CWM. I am glad to see it has come a long way via the UK, Netherlands, Belgium and then to Canada and was restored in time to spice up the Kangaroo Guidon Ceremony Sept 10/2011 !

I was driving 5 people all with a CF connection and we all recognised it instantly.

According to my sources it was a slog to get it finished in time for the event

I am really glad that the 1CACR are finally getting their Guidon and that the CWM is participating by providing this de-turreted Ram. But this early model RAM was never used as a Kangaroo by Canada. However, that shouldn't deter from the ceremony.
