My wife and I wandered around through Israel in a rental car for the past few weeks, and I was suprised at the number of M35s, M813s, and other trucks, and armor I saw. I've attached a few pictures, too tired right now for much else!

It was kind of sad actually, the whole deal is outside, and exposed to the weather, it had more the feel of a military scrap yard in some ways, however some pieces, the planes etc were in excellent condition.

Yep, there were some interesting varieties over there. Most of the pictures came from the Negev region where alot of the training etc. takes place. I believe the M36 pictures you are referring to was being driven by an 18 year old fresh recruit, on route 12 headed toward Be'er Sheva. He was alone for some reason, with no assistant, driving some wild turns and hills, but she was pulling right along. He actually caught us near the Mizpah Ramon crater on the up hill side of a very, very long switch back climb. It was good to see these old soldiers still serving a country so well.
