Finally managed to get all the lovely 'powered by fairydust' stickers off the bus this weekend, and as it has been 5 years now since my 'Camper & Bus' photoshoot, we went back down the same spot to take a few snaps....

Fantastic pics mate - the bus looks sweet! 8)
 
Cheers :) its a Canon 550. Just started using it. Got loads to learn though.

Karl, they are standard heads but with a bit of work done on them.
 
Well happy with the stance now. Raised the rear by an inch or so to give more clearance for the deep sump...

Wow :shock:

You are never going to fit all that on one A4 bus spec card for this years Breeze line up!
 
Cool, my 2110 has hemi chambers and 40x35.5 valves too. The chambers give a really efficient burn, plus sensible sized valves produce bucket loads of low down torque :D

I need to get out more :lol:
 
Yes you do Karlos ;)

Andrew - spec is currently 2.5 pages, so will need to edit it down for the Breeze this year. You'll get to see the bus in action going up to Heritage tomorrow evening :)
