According to some Aussie and UK Diggers on the Ferret list, the brit 
vehicles have doors. All manual. They like them because you can step 
out of the vehicle, light a cig, and then move away before you break 
cover of the doors.

Additionaly, one related the other benefits of certain vehicles in 
regards to being able to store ice/beer under floor plate and in 
cleaned out battery cases for during/after exercises. He especially 
liked it in the M113's from the US that they were issued for at time 
as fitter/repair vehicles. The area under those plates had lots of 
room for beer and ice.

The priorities on some of the British lists when you ask about the 
old days is odd....
