Jacques the bus I bought from Henk was a blue and white crewcab baywindow. Paul yes this is indeed the bus you saw in George last year and will be there again this year as Bugger and Bonny will be driving it down :hangloose:

Yes Last year when we drove it down to George it was worse than Kangaroo Jack :lol: due to a dirty Fuel tank

Thanks Guys, it needs some TLC but nothing major. I'm sure I'll be enjoying some great runs and travels with it :hangloose:

Hi Deon!

That SC is a stunner! Many happy miles - especially with a cleaner fuel tank now ;)

Very cool!!!!! One question, your tyres look like the white wall was vulcanised onto the tyre. How is it holding up?

Hi Mince, I have had quite a few tyres done with whitewall vulcanizing and have had no problems with them. The big thing is that you must maintain correct tyre pressures. If the tyre runs slightly under pressure the sidewall generates heat causing the white rubber to come off. :hangloose:
