What you really need is 36 thumping big cylinders running 6000+ bhp



Had a good run with them down to Loughborough yesterday afternoon having got 47292 running again after de-winterisation.

Bova Futura 2 if I'm not wrong......
BRILLIANT bus, nearly bought one just the same instead of my "swiftie", only reason I didn't, is it would not fit on my drive!!!
