Indeed! :wink:

Hi Ivor

Anorak? No, I'm not sure what that means?

Here's 1 for the eagle eyed - there's a split screen in Sin City - blink and you'll miss it. I'll see if I can get a screen shot of it.

you might recognise Worzel's Sprogg and Joey from 'Bread'.

looks like a devon crossover?

 

[Shaggy]

Just watch any A-Team show they always seem to have one in the back ground

Also Back to the Future has a late bay, its baby blue and white with some terrorist hanging out of the top with a machine gun

The film bullitt has several bugs and many splitscreens buses in it but i think during the chase, you see the same splitty several times if memory serves me.

It was too early for bays though

I was just watching Mountains on the BBC iPlayer and Griff Rhys-Jones is driving around in a Crossover, I think it is his too.

They had the National Geographic documentary 'Seconds from disaster' on our local TV a few days ago. This specific episode was about the the killings of 11 Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists in an event known as the "Munich massacre", during the 1972 Summer Olympics. For a brief moment you can see two dark green 'Polizei' EarlyBays, followed by a green Splitty in some of the original TV news footage:

An EarlyBay can also be seen in the 2005 movie 'Munich':

Anyone watch lost

One of my customers told me that a ceebeebies tv programme called 'Nina and the Neurons' has a campervan as their transport.
Also there was a brainiac type show with an orange bay but i think that was a latebay.

Is it just me, or is the weathering on that Bus a bit artificial?
