Thanks Wilf...

Means a lot coming from you particularly after the excellent work you did on your green bus...

You had any luck finding a bus yet fella?! (Nearly offered you mine, but decided, actually my wife and kids decided to keep my bus)

Had a fair few offers but but not found one as yet! Also had lots of time wasters too!

I've had a little time to work on the bus over the last two days.. got the rear tyres fitted onto my 'new' wheels.. still debating in my mind what profile tyres to put on the front...

Here's the rears.. I'm so pleased with my choice of wheels (I have friends who are totally sick of me going on and on and on and on........and on and on about these wheels, those wheels!)

I also got round to fitting a Butty's Bits Throttle Kit... Obviously I haven't driven the bus with it yet, but it feels really good, it's well engineered and a simple to fit bit of kit.. thrilled with it so far..

Looking very nice with those wheels Carl. Fixed glass all around? Your kids are going to hate you on a hot day.
