    Yeah. He's playing ball now but has been in the naughty corner for quite a few weeks.
    Objected to the petrol heart being ripped out and replaced with a diesel one we think:D.
    Dare I say it, but we are going north in a couple of weeks time to collect him!!

    We fade to grey...

    Getting there. He'll be polished and refitted, snagged then last job will be to blow in the sides of the roof to match the upper white.

    I have no idea lol. It may be different in fact it probably is. I've got the Sherwin Williams paint code for the grey somewhere but to be honest I couldn't be arsed to dig it out so asked Sandy to just crack on with his painters eye.

    He found a tin under his bench that we opened and it looked close enough, had a known RAL so that's what it is!

    Thanks Mark. I guess we'll just do more kicking about places for longer rather than dashing around putting the miles on. Hopefully all of us will find a way to continue to enjoy our buses..:thumbsup:
