Freddy is on his way. :-)

My 1st SA bus is on it's way, 4 weeks to go.

 

lush colour! hope it runs smoothly!

 

They drove it from Pretoria to Durban with only one issue, the vacuum pipe split on the carb manifold, fixed in the traditional manner of gaffer tape and glue.

 

Its front indicators are in the wrong place

 

Not up on my SA busses ....is it German built or a CKD ?

 

WoooHoo A bus shipping thread!



Is it here yet?

 

Is it here yet?

 

Is it here yet.............?

 

Nice bus, though I think it needs a more robust lower hinge on the slider.....


Is that a standard one - I know a lot of the SA buses are modified in various genius ways.

 

Agree - as long as we are using a tolerance of +/- three feet!

 

It was a school bus, the hinge thing is connected to a mahoosive automatic slide out step that could support even my weight! Done so little kiddies could climb in.
It's done 67000 kilometres, I think the seats can be folded both ways to make a bed.

 

All the SA buses seem to have those extra little lights at the front, I'm guessing local construction and use regs.
Other than that and the step, seems to be just like it left the factory. Even the upholstery is complete and unchanged.

 

I thought he was Beige the same as Ted but that's because we viewed him under a blue canopy.

Turns out he's actually a very pale green.

 

It's better in green, beige is just so early pipe and slippers gang............. Although at your age
