thanks Grazy.
The bus is now Savannah Beige. It's a color scheme you just don't see here... but I know it's more common in the UK.
People here tend to paint them with two bright and vivid color combos (well, like I did a couple of years ago). But now, I decided it deserves a more elegant and fancy color... and after seeing some examples here, I just fell in love with it
need to say that one of them is the gorgeous Davebug's bus and as someone said in another topic, that bus is just art...

And finally we got home!

I spent a few minutes but it was more than enough to catch them 15 km's ahead.
The driver was crazy... He was going at 140 km/h :shock:
... but it was better this way! :mrgreen:
And finally we got home!
