Parade Picture CVR(W)

Thought you chaps who attended the Kingston OMVA show in 08, might like to see a picture or two of the Fox from the collection i'm involved with.

Sadly, just prior to the show the vehicle suffered a mechanical hiccup and didnt make it.

Thanks to Tom Lodge who provided the pictures, as I was in another vehicle!

1) you just HAVE to stop calling that pretty thing a Fox. At least here in Canada. That means something else entirely. Recall the Oz/UK Dingo issue?

2) can I get a ride in it? Maybe drive it? How about a "you drive my Fox, I drive your Fox" kind of thing?

3) how did such an aggressive vehicle ever make it's way here? Are there more or is this the only Canadian example?

Dear Bruce,

it is what it is, it is a Fox so I will call it a Fox. I might call it a CVR(W) Fox but it is still a Fox. At the risk of starting the biggest flame war this forum has ever witnessed. . . . . . A spade is a spade old chum!

There are other vehicles since WW2 that have been called a Fox!

Touch it maybe, look at it sure, drive it . .. . hmm we will have to talk about that

As to its provenance, it was a private import to Canada to the collection and is I think the only one here unless there are more things lurking behind closed doors that people dont know about, like the V100 Commando that i know is in Ontario but no one else has seen, get my point?

So, over to you for your serve!

MMMm, I have to admit that is my favorite piece of armour. I'd love one in my shed, but alas they are very rare here as well.
