Aft'noon all,

Quite an interesting story, with photos, of a retired chap who - with his buddies - restored the school bus he used to ride on as a nipper.

I am sure there will be some folk who would never, ever understand what drives ( Wink ) people to do such things. It is also very difficult to explain to the reasons to the aforementioned . For me, I have the utmost admiration, this is a great achievement. Well Done..

Its a funny old thing how much a vehicle can mean to someone. Often, and I find this with myself is that you are and become part of the vehicles history and saving a vehicle for future generations is something all us restorers should feel proud of.
