    Is this topic to convince or give some real life perspective to a customer Zed? ;D

    Last tax disc in mine expired 10/08

    The 2 owners between then and me getting it had must of been overwhelmed or too busy to get it in the road,

    3 years next month I'd have owned it, and May will be the 3 year restoration anniversay ::) Hopefully this year....

  12. Im ok when im working on other peoples vehicles but when it comes to my bus somthing always seems to get in the way
    Most of its down to being skint
    Although since i bought the bus i got ill,lost my job and house
    Ive moved house four times ive had another daughter
    My dad died,my mother in law died,my gran died
    My sister got married
    My mum got re married
    Chuck a few big bouts of depression in the middle of all that and mix it up a bit its no wonder my bus hasent been top priority
    Sometimes ive not touched it for months but the dream has stayed alive as its the longest vehicle ive ever owned

    Bought it in sept 2006 and have done about 2000 miles in it
