It's the wagon wheels that really make it special.

vintage buses on active passenger carrying service in edinburgh today

just like when I moved here back in '89

  Glad  enjoyed it!  I spent most of the day conducting (the PD3 and the PD2), a great day out, not really Shite as such. The main thing was that nothing ended up on tow. One of the Atlanteans that  I own a share in (595) did have to retire early due to fuel problems, but it limped home.

There's the potential for some shite motors to appear at a future event, Seddon Midi, Leyland Cub  or Tiger Cub (PSUC1/3 for those that know about such things) anyone?  The sticking point is the requirement to get the recertified as PSVs in order for them to take  part .   They will all  be test exempt by next year so a static display of Shite buses might be arranged at one of the terminuses.

Driving through an estate the other side of twon yesterday. At a junction a lad in a quite new van comes wellying out behind me as he's holding his 'phone about six inches from his face, ala 'The Apprentice' style. Another 1/2 mile and he's right behind me as we pass the cop shop. There's an unmarked black BMW waiting to pull in and instead of doing so he did a U-turn, the sirens lit up and he pulled the van over.

Regardless of being smug about someone getting lifted for being on the 'phone when driving, you'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to drive past the police station at the same time.

Today bought this in a boot fair for £3.00 and it's better than the broken one!

Megabarg. I bought mine new exactly like that so it must be 15-odd years old and I think they were charging £30 new.

I saw a blue coach of 1960s vintage heading into Glasgow at about 12:30am last night, wonder if it was related. It looked very cosy with the orangey interior lights on.

Driving along the A17 yesterday I was behind an E reg, RGV 250 gamma in Pepsi colours.The guy was ringing the nuts off it.I'd forgotten how loud twin Micron exhausts were as I could still hear him ten cars away.

Went to some dodgy phone shop in Croydon to buy a new cable for my phone - you know the kind with 100s of definitely not stolen phones in a glass case

 

"Do you want a genuine Apple one or..."

 

As if anything they sell is fucking genuine! :D

What makes me grin?  Dan's Mercury, when it isn't messing him about.  Seriously, it does.  As does Junkman's Gasser, and Huggy.  Three such loony (in this time and place) cars on one forum, and we're not even the only ones!  Joloke and her Mustang, 59Impala and his, er, 59 Impala...

We really really need to get the entire Massive Massiv together sometime.

When it stops pissing me off and I'm not 'a man on the edge' it shall be so!
