Erm, not altogether sure, doesn't ring an immidiate bell, although it *might* be Smiffy's triton green TZD, although I think thats a J reg...

cheers doc i might reread the reg just to double check 3am motorway eyes

off topic: do you have any spare bx's in your posession?

Post by **docchevron** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 2:00 am

I have two mate, but neither is spare I'm afraid.
Shouldn't be hard to find one though, it's a tough market for sellers right now, and there seems to be plenty about.
I'll keep an eye out if you want?

Incidentally, since you're now in Bristol then drinking beer should happen sometime!

cheers,

There's a few of us in Brizzle so it shouldn't be too hard to get a mini meet happening mate.

Although being the new guy on the scene, you will be forced to drink til you drop, then we'll strip you naked and handcuff you to the lamp post at the top of Park Street!

Hey, if you organise it for when I'm down there I don't mind coming along to assist with the consumption of alcohol...not sure about the naked part though!

Excellent stuff, and if Mat is around aswell then we'll no doubt drink Brizzle dry and land some fine vomits on random peoples gardens!

All drivers are miserable bastards mate.
It's the drudgery of the job, and having to put up with arseholes everyday.
Not that I'm saying your an arsehole, but after a while we just expect everyone to be a cock and treat everyone the same way.

Single deck with twin square lights??

Something like this:

They'd be Dennis Lance buses with Plaxton Verde bodies.
We now have the single biggest fleet of these things anywhere in the country.
Although they are all rotten and being binned very fast.
Infact there will be non left at all within 12 months, except the one in the picture, cos I bought it!

Not in any way related to Nationals, although it's rather hard to rebody a National as they dont have a chassis!

that's it that's the one been trying to find out what these were for ages back in reading arriva still use these for the reading to high wycombe route. thanks and you've bought one! i think they are quite a good looking bus. how much are they? i'll have to have a closer look:?

dad mentioned there some ex nationals running around which have been re fronted, i'm abit of a national fan

love to own one or a leyland titan/ecw olympian.

nop i'm one of those passengers that say thank you at the end of the journey.

i'm not into buses honest

it's dads fault he's the bus fanatic, southsea bus rally every year regular as clock work.

cheers

I got mine for not alot since it had a blown engine and was destined for scrap.
The book value on these range from £4000 to £9000 depending on condition and year.
I think they are lovely looking buses too, but jesus they are all a horrid mess of rot underneath.

My mate has a Leyland Titan (infact it's parked next to my Lance!) and there are many Nationals (Mk1 and 2 ) at the farm, I'm sure we could sell you one!
