Bay window campers on tv

Post by CooP »

I was channel hopping just now and came across an English reality-type programme on TLC where learner drivers are taught to drive (by a relative) over 1-week day period while travelling and camping in a VW bus. The buses look like water-cooled conversions but it still makes me cringe to watch the learners crashing the gears and all the other near misses :shock:

It's called Driving Me Crazy and is probably repeated at a more civilised hour, I dunno. Good for a bit of laugh, though there is some very choice language so mind the kiddies.

Good stuff, another convert :hangloose:

The orange bus is gorgeous, very much how I hope to paint mine. But I really do "clutch" every time they veer onto the pavement or bump into something :lol:
