    Well as some of you know we bought our bus
    Sylvia the bay (named after my late mother as she was a bit temperamental too)
    Back in July 2018
    She was a rolling shell with an engine that hadn't been started in 12 years.
    Please take a look.
    Cheers Ian & Jane.

  5. Saw this in the flesh last weekend, the pictures don't do it, or the fact it was done on an amazing budget, justice! :thumbsup:
