You're too kind! Thanks for watching

Crucial apparently…. 👍👍

👍👍

Single piece tubeless rims are so boring.

Thanks for watching

It’s comments like this that make it all worth it! Thanks so much

👍👍👍

I wouldn’t go that far, but it was a good day for sure!

Looks good on the road doesn't it!?

@@PeteAndHisBus yes it certainly did look good, wish all success’s to the owners

Thanks

It’ll happen, just a matter of time

Hen doesn’t give up easily…

Thanks and thanks!

🤞

It needs to be undercover.

Brilliant! Glad you liked it

@@PeteAndHisBus Oh yes indeed. Still have friends around the world from that trip. Mind you, the drinking was pretty intense at times.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching

Wow, what a great experience

@@PeteAndHisBus it was , but ruddy hard work too , hosepipe from the kitchen through the lower salon , over my shoulder and along the window channel to drip water behind the coweling over the radiator to stop it overheating going up the Brenner pass twixt Austria and Italy , had to stop halfway to refill the water tank.But definitely an unforgettable summer ❤

​@@johnshaw8481Top Deck Travel was like that. Passangers waving their plates dry after washing..

Glad you like it

Good times

Love that channel!! Thanks so much for your support and kind words. Means the world to Compo and I! 👍👍👍

thanks

Let’s hope so

Glad you agree! Also spot on, loads of original bits and a great conversion.

Thank you

Thanks for watching 👍👍

Thanks Tim, what a weekend it was 👍👍

You're a very worthy custodian.

Thanks

I wonder what he thinks of Lodekkas?

Thank for the tip! 😂😂

Thanks bud, it's been very refreshing to get back into it

Thanks

I can tell ya…. 😂👍😜

Thanks for watching

Thank you

Thanks

Thanks so much for joining us there! A very enjoyable weekend 👍👍

Thanks

Thank you

Thanks

Ha, sorry! I know there is a “quantity vs quality” thing on RU-vid but I refuse to launch crappy vids

@@PeteAndHisBus keep it up or more to the point don't!

Thanks

Yep! They really are

You could swear the sound was part of their design brief, yet were very smooth. Leylands tended to be noisier and more raucous. AECs were civilised. Damn pity ACV supposedly merged with them. It was really a takeover.

👍👍

I didn’t. We saw pretty much every other beach. Was a great trip

Thanks you

Ohhhh yes

Thanks

👍👍👍

thanks

it's the b****x isn't it!? Thanks for watching

@@PeteAndHisBus ever since I saw it on Top Gear in 2004 it was ❤️❤️❤️

Awh that's a shame! Thanks for your kind words and for watching

hahaha! Thanks

They are planning I taking it abroad, so who knows.

Haha, yes! The casing ones are worse but they all survived 👍👍

Haha! Yeah it does happen

Thank you!

Agreed

Where did the DB9 go ? Do you deal in cars ? Kind regards Peter from Denmark

I’d like to see it

It’s good isn’t it!? A re-power is on the cards for it.

Noooooo. It's a bus, not a car. As long as it gets there. I hope the engine goes to a preservationist if he goes that route.

👍👍👍👍

I give you bro !! 👍😂

Thanks so much

Spot on

Thanks for your kind words, glad you’re enjoying it

You better get crackin on it 😂😜👍

@@PeteAndHisBus It is in the isle of wight bus and coach museum and is in full working order.

Thanks

Yeah, sound on the move was tricky. Glad you like it though 👍👍

❤️

Thanks!

It's booked in

Indeed! Thanks for watching

Thansk

Thanks so much!

Haha! Promise I’ll put it back 👍😂

We are fully expecting to have zero brakes! 😂😂

I think leaving that lube in the cylinders helped.

Agreed, they did do a manual db9 btw.. Rare though. I was scheduled to drive it but there were a few complications on the trip. Next time perhaps. Thanks for watching

Hahaha thanks for your support

We laughed too don’t worry!! 😂😂

😂😂

They left very happy!

@@PeteAndHisBus top man :)

Haha no thanks! Don’t worry work on 2730 will resume

@@PeteAndHisBus if only there was a way to alter the sound of the Cummins to be more 590 like when revving. You're already there with the tickover.

Nice! Such a stunning place

Yep that’s the one

Very true

Thanks for watching

@@PeteAndHisBus I wrote the comment before I saw it appears to be the wiring to the starter motor. I was once walking along the road (I live in a long cul-de-sac, and I found two bolts, then two nuts, thinking "they look interesting, I might have a use for them". Anyway attempted to start the car (which I had just re-built), and there was an odd noise and nothing, the starter motor appeared not to be freeing up and was jammed to the flywheel, pushing the car onto a kerb on one side ( saved using axle stand ) I noticed the starter motor had dropped and the bolts and nuts securing to bell housing were missing. I then realised those I had found were those missing ones, popped them back in and this time did them up more than finger tight (with the spring washer on the correct flange side) ! Funny thing was my son did the same 20 years later on same model of car - I used it for his wedding, it took the bridesmaids to the church, but wouldnt start for the return- which was me only as the wedding party had hired a Leyland PD3 (?) ex Leeds Corporation - which itself got lost going to the hotel but that is another story. I collected the car and did the bolt refixing the following day at the church car park

haha! Thanks

@@PeteAndHisBus just finished the vid and I'm soooo glad it's just a wire issue. You'll get it next time for sure. 😁

thanks for your support

Yep.. Plans are in motion

@@PeteAndHisBus excellent news

Yep, it sure did

True! Ha love a good extreme I do

Yes, but it wouldn't be very safe upstairs. Got to remember, my bus is open to the public during events.

Hey, the owners are actually quite keen to keep it. They’re sorting out a new place for it to be kept and are ordering glass etc etc

@@PeteAndHisBus ace - good luck on getting it going.

It'll need a tonne of work. Thank goodness it's alloy construction.

Classed as a historic aka free ;)

It has a shower that attaches to the outside. No toilet in it, but the campsites we visited obviously had all that covered.

@@PeteAndHisBus or the bushes lol.

Haha on his honeymoon

Thanks bud

Booked in soon!

He’s the overlord of the buses! It’s obvious…. 😂

Thank you Pete.

hahaha!

Haha did think of putting “Clapton Pond” under it..

@@PeteAndHisBus I have my uncles LT Cap Badge which he retained after he finished driving routemasters at CT. He was one of the first drivers for them (his wife was the conductress ) I dont think he had driven the trolleybuses the RMs replaced.

Glad you like it, thanks for watching!

hahahaha! Yeah, that's a different channel ;)

😂🤪
