was he saying his bendy bus had the engine at the back?! how did anyone think that was a good idea in london? ok, it doesn't snow much there,
but i've been there when it snows and it gets compacted down to ice and busses were sliding about when they were braking. imagine a bendy bus
starting its own powerslide!

^ it did look like good fun!
i was surprised how stable the double decker was. ok, so it fell over in the end, but the number of times it was tipping right over!

It looked to me as though they were trying like mad to get the double decker over & eventually had to go off road to get enough adverse camber to
manage it!!
They did seem to drive it on 2 wheels quite a lot previously..........

That was to show boris that it could corner fast without toppling
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Apparently CityBus in Plymouth have a load of the Darts (the white single decker that "won" ) not being used at the moment. I reckon a
single make race series would be excellent fun
