Er, except thats a Leyland Leopard! Doh!
But yeah, the Tiger foes, although needs some tinkering.
My RE should be on the road in some semblence of looking half decent for next season.
You have plans young Vanster?
BTW, the shed in Wales fell through. Not big enough by a long margin.
So the hunt goes on......

go TO a paddling EVENT in a coach, read carefully and there was no intention of running a river in a bus, though i can think of a few Chillian rivers you could actually run a bus in!

Why are coaches named after versions of Mac OS?
Cheers,

Is there a Mac OS called RE??
Cos my coach is an RE!
Leyland called all there buses after cats, hence Tiger, Leopard, Lynx, Panther etc, duno why, they just did.
Dennis went with sharp pointy things like Lance, Dart, Trident etc...
Volvo just went with a B then some numbers, cos they're Swedish tossers.
