Man O Man i use to be a RATEL driver back in the days. Awesome memories and they get freshened everytime i hear some of the rear engined busses pull off as the sound of the gearbox sounds very much like a RATEL pulling off. Goose bumps.

I remember when I was in pre-school we went on a field trip to our towns commando base and we got to ride in a Casspir and a Ratel after that day I just wanted to be a soldier
