Because one sight of it should have you packing your stuff up and getting a bus instead?

Is it Chris`s alter ego? Does he go into a bus stop and get changed? Does he wear his undercrackers over his trousers?
These questions and more must be answered!

Oh, and in a potentially futile attempt to remain `ot` is someone going to have a go at taking this rare beastie on?
That`s probably got banger racing potential and deserves much better than that.

'ot'...

Charlie has a golden robe and woven beard that is worn for as long as he drives the number 152 from Treorchy to Grangetown...a hardcore route where a heavy disguise is needed most! On weekends, Charlie weaves his beared into his pubic hair and busks on his vintage 'thatchin', only he chooses the bus depot to play where the public recognise him for his bus driving skills and run off in shrieks of horror....nothing like Doc i suppose

Walking sounds good to me! If all the twelve fingered, webb toed to$$ers would walk instead of getting on my bus my day would be soooo much happier!

Alas, I make a point of going to work looking like a tramp, cos it pi$$es management off.

Been doing it 8 years now, they've given up asking me to "wear a tie, wear company shoes, do my shirt up, tuck shirt in" etc
I think my finest hour was back in 2000, I'd been stabbed at work, had a few weeks off to get stitched up and re-coup the blood loss, went back to work wearing a straw hat and MAGNUM PI style shirt and shorts, oh, and flip flops!
My manager nearly passed out..... Well, it was summer...

Cheers
Chris G

Can somebody explain this engine to me please.

No cambelt? I'm assuming its a chain then rather than a gear driven cam?

Gearbox in sump like an old mini?

Having changed the GTi's cambelt this weekend this seems like a dream engine
