The bus diversion conversion.

(Diverted me from PPP). However, should put me in credit for a while with the garage that fixes my car and van.
There's no 'before' pics but just imagine an empty bus with no seats.

Sleeps 4. Front couches convert to a double bed. I built the toilet cubicle and used quite a lot of stuff from a caravan that acted as a donor. The only thing with that is that it's pretty flimsy and everything needed 2" x 2" to shore it up. Cooker and sink unit still needs to be cut into the worktop, the rear 4 (of 6) windows will be frosted.
It all has to be wired and none of all of that invloves me (I hope).

    I'm not sure where I should position the cash register (when I borrow it for fund raising purposes).

    @MF - Yes, please bring along TDLO, TDV. TDL. TGV etc...

    What if they all started blobbing at once as fe-males are akin to doing so when they are all kept together?

    She is too pure and perfect to allow you lot to soil her form with your fanciful and random countryside based mastubatory instincts.

    She shall forever remain unsoiled until the Bracketeers are free again.

    Does this heap actually move or is just an odd trailer park home?

    'Heap' ?! Yep, 3.5 litre Mercedes turbo diesel. It moves. The owners will use it as accommodation for Karting when they are away. Which is most weekends. They have another 'bus' for the Karts.

    About the same size/type of engine in an old E-Class.

    Newer generation CDi. (2005). It was nifty, especially when they took all the seats out but the amount of timber in it now...

    I can imagine some bloke moaning about being stuck behind this thing in 'The seemingly trivial things that annoy you thread''. It's only a matter of time. I'm even going to bet it will be Pross.

    Maybe. Removable false teeth are a plus point.

    It's not my bloody bus.

    Anyway, find me a mobile home that would snap knicker elastic. How many of them have overtaken you whilst driving?
    (Whilst driving Mazda's doesn't count).
