UK restores are overrated.... I stopped counting how many painted beadings I saw last weekend.

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Hey Guys, yep happy days that was the 1st time the bus drove after the build and I was a little worried to say the least , worried about something coming loose or falling off ! But happy to report that all went well been busy this week sorting small issues as they happen but I have been driving the bus everyday since the show and no "stop an go " penalty's as yet !
The bus currently has a 1776 in the back I just coulnd not wait to drive it anymore and I can now sort out all the license and reg issues while the turbo motors pipes are getting made up for the last time hopefully !
My biggest fear is that my wife sells my cars for what i told her they cost !!
