What are the chances?

How many times does this happen?
You turn up to a rally somewhere, and someone comes up to you, and says "ere, have you seen the number plate on that over there, it's just like yours!"

I'd always known about his van, but never actually seen it in the flesh, let alone while with my bus....

I bet the van is now razor blades, and I no-longer own the bus......sadly!

dont you work for worst terrorising travel as a mechanic?

Not quite a mechanic, I sort of look for and fix minor defects, like loose seats, broken light lenses, bulbs etc.

Trouble is the company rent a very large yard from the council, and so do some other companies, who park their shit all over the place!

Back in the old NBC days before privatisation in 1986, the entire yard would still be owned by the bus company.

We only have 175 buses at our depot now, but back then it would have been more like 300!!!

The point though, is that Smiffy wasn't the first to destroy the very same Transit! An inspector reversed the then "brewin car" into it ( A corsa no less) and did more damage than smiffy did in a 9 tonne Lance!
The Lance had a cracked panel, the Corsa was wankered beyond belief!

Oh, but he did get a hug from Miss Piggy!
Further Smiffy is now know as Kermit!

He'll need some for the front aswell! He's just as bad going forwards!

Actually a set of them for the arse end of his valver would be a good fitment, at least until I nick his rear bumper!
