Your first Drive of your bus

Can you remember what you thought ?

 

Yep.
'Hope I don't get pulled with these yank plates.'
As I drove through the center of Reading.

 

How the hell do I get it into reverse !!

 

a lot faster than i expected but no 2nd gear !

 

I think the octane in the US fuel has disappeared as it won't go up the hill!

 

And also I hope to god there are no more black widows hanging around!

 

i know someone that used to like shall i say a wiff or two who had the gear change route tatooed on the back of his hand

 

One of mine was , why are artic lorries overtaking me on this hill

 

I cant remember what I thought, the 2oo mile drive home breathing the petrol fumes had something to do with it..................

 

Fear... No steering damper and massively wrong camber and toe in on the front does not make for a relaxing drive

 

Magic! Best part of 300 miles on a hot August day. Ran like a sewing machine and briefly made top speed of 73mph. Only problem was stalling at roundabouts (now fixed).

 

Was over the moon, I had made it, as far as I was concerned.

 

This is slow, why does the steering wheel move so much before it turns?, it's a good job the mot man is a mate.

 

Please please please don't blow up!!!.......(having found the bus leaks petrol into the battery tray and still having 120 miles to go)! Oh and wondering why the first gear wouldn't go in.

 

Carping myself driving through the narrow roads of the Dales, hoping I don't meet any coaches or caravans!!

 

I think I may have made a big mistake.....!

 

To the mot staition ,I hope it gets there...

After the mot ,drove like a dream...

 

From London to Oxford taking in the beauty of the M25, dark outside with intermittent electrics on the bloody thing. Finding first was a nightmare. Absolutely loved it.
