Sometimes, when driving around you manage to get lucky.
No, not in that way (pervs), I mean something so worth a photograph (or twenty) that you are willing to hit the brakes, park, endure all the "Oh not again" moans from the passenger seats, and extract one's greatly aged body from the car.
Just the other day, while taking a different street to the norm, I chanced across this old, Victorian registered, Comair bus.
Poor old girl is a little the worse for wear and appears to spend it's time as a camper van, but given it has been some decades since I last saw one (late 80s in Melbourne), it soon had those dark Bunzel juices a flowing.
It looks like the occupants have been camped there for a while and, from all the guff outside, have made themselves at home. I suspect it will be there for a while longer.
If you want to know more about the type, I shall put some links at the bottom.
If anyone knows it's history, please email me and I shall add it here.
Enjoy......or not....thats purely up to you. :-)
