Lovely straight 6 PD injection sound at the start

[@marisbrenards6665]

Oh yessss! My first impressions of UK started in that bus. At Gatwick airport on National Express. Back in 2006 i was impressed a lot, automatic trunk, design, level of comfort and sound that produced by automatic gearbox. Thanx for bringing back memories)))

Glad you enjoyed

GJP remember cleaning it out when coach hire started coming back

Gotta love a K114. Never heard a bad thing about em!

[@wheelerd02]

Although brief I enjoyed my drive, modern motors may have higher outputs, whizzy buttons and wireless nonsense but I'd far sooner drive an older vehicle everyday.

[@guilhermoferreira7275]

Fun fact: the k114 in brazil only had two units,1 is an Paradiso g6 1200 sold to an branch called 1001,and the other was an busscar jumbuss 360 sold to gontijo,only the first is still strong and in good use in fabricio turismo,the other caught on fire which was in ESA transports and it was an complete loss.

Interesting trivia thank you

Need more pov of coaches hardly anyone does it apart from chandler's coaches James Underwood channel

[@wheelerd02]

We only operated 3 types of coaches here so that is the fleet spoken for I am afraid. Although I am open to driving vehicles with permission for documentary purposes.

Thanks

you can also find Volvo Irizar Mercedes Irizar and MAN irizar and each has an engine and steering wheel from each but the same Irizar body with a different logo

Absolutely, much like Wright bodied buses can have different running gear underneath

Irizar i4 scania coaches are cool!

Got a unique "face" on them I feel, also the grooved/fluted sweep rear lights are more imaginative than thr convertible box lamps

So are you doing bus driver instead of bin man?

[@wheelerd02]

Yes sir

[@b9tltransportvids]

I noticed in your video and I have noticed on many coaches that the doors won't open or close unless you repeatedly press the button or wait a while is there a reason for this?

[@wheelerd02]

Old vehicles, sticky electrics, call it what you will. This motor is 2004 and got a fair old mileage on it. I imagine the switch gear is all original so had a few prods in it's time.

[@b9tltransportvids]

@@wheelerd02 ahh fair enough

Why are you not a bin man anymore

Had enough of it my guy, I wasn't happy and the money wasn't enough. Doing much better now
