    Bus Shite

    I await being corrected by @Inspector Morose but I'm pretty sure this ex Berlin MAN SD200 with Waggon Union body dates from around 1983. It (and it's sister number 85) are, and have been,  plodding around Benidorm since the late 90's.

    Whilst my silly days of buying old buses are a long time ago, that Dennis Dominator like sound makes we want to buy a lottery ticket in the hope I could introduce it to The People's Republic.

    A picture of a special bus from London on a trip in Norway has appeared, does anyone know what kind of bus this is?

    And people seem to think the Buick is French registered?

    Probably a Thomas Harrington streamlined coach.   We very occasionally had one as our school bus from Naphill to Terriers (near High Wycombe) in 1963.

    Yep, Harrington "Dorsal Fin" body on a Commer Avenger chassis that was new in 1950.

    This sad looking Fleetline that had been hit and then shunted against a wall back in 1978 was posted on a site recently.

    The story goes it was hit by a reversing fuel tanker. It was never repaired and got scrapped as it was due for withdrawal anyway.

    Surely as a twelve year old bus couldn't this have been a viable repair ?

    Back then, buses were designed for a 12 year service life so any accident affecting it around that age would result it in being scrapped.

    Now here's a little story

    to tell it is a must

    about a hedge find Alfa

    that's turning into dust

    Some cars can keep your fortune

    others make you skint

    this Alfa isn't up to much

    But the log books worth a mint

    Oh...my Alfa's a dustbin

    it's a pile of fucking tat

    it's damper than Jordan's fanny

    and probably smells like that

    The bottom's like a banana

    so bring your rigger boots

    you'll have such a job to pull it out

    the bastard's taken roots

    Ohhh...my old car's a dustbin

    the fucking thing's a farce

    that gaping great big rusty hole

    is like my ex-wife's arse

    Ohh, my old car's an Alfa...
