Not perticulary busses man.
Anything old and oily.
Comercials, tractors, cars, bikes, boats and planes etc.

I dont like USING busses. Theyre ghey.
But the old ones are nice astheticly.

That Volvo ad is ace

love that volvo poster and the SD1

Afraid i still have a soft spot for the little yellow FWD puggie

Chris (Pandaselecta, he with the CVT that has a slipping reverse clutch, so that's ok, 'cos he can still drive it forwards) invited me to bring the Dolly along, I should have done, then there would have been a Triumph there.... Just kidding, I like that beige Honda really. I forgot his ice cream meet thing completely, but had I known about the buses....
I was up the other end of the Coast Road, in Toon, today at another event, one with no buses in attendance but man, the amount of 'scenery' walking about was mahoosive.

I love Bus'es & Coaches . So Leyland did build something that didnt fall apart after 20 years then!. Also there are so many Volvo Bus'es on the road it's hard to ignore.
One of the first i ever driven was a bristol!, semi - automatic with short shift gears on the dash. They just dont make them like this anymore!, ....luckily! ...Clutch is like made out of solid rock, power steering non-existant!.
That bus two pics up green and beige looks ace 321 reg i think.

Always watch for the tail swing in the mirror, when driving a bus, (other road user's are oblivious to this) until....crunch.....tooo late.

Enough!! Everything is either happening up north or down south... time for a Midlands united meet I think

less talky, more organisy.

id rock down.

I just love the way UK / Dutch / French / German classic car meets are so totally different in character. In 30 years' time we'll all be looking at the same "world cars"

Great pics, VND! London with an "01" dialling code, that was a loooooong time ago.

Good advice indeed and one which is imprinted on my mind when the examiner shouted "TAILSWING!" at me when I was doing a left at a set of lights. Put the fear of god into me that did. Still passed me! (I think that was his ploy, try and put you off near the start and see if you can hold it together or crumble).

Never learnt my lesson though, about a year later I managed to gouge the side of a K11 Micra that was in my right blind spot with a tri-axle trailer doing a tight left turn. Didn't realised I'd done it until the Garda turned up at my drop round the corner.

I like from that Gupsy queen bus, if buses today would look like that, even I might use them once in a while

You would regret it rather quickly.
Busses are full of smelly old people and heroin addicts.

Full bus? That must be urban legend, here I have not seen more than 10 people on a bus

But I made type fail, I mean't I like that gypsy queen, you like too?:
