Pete And His Bus: Can we finally save RM843

[@ianhillsman7777]

The recovery truck is quite a beast in itself, and the driver is a star when it comes to navigating and maneuvering!

[@PeteAndHisBus]

Yeah, they were total pros!

[@martinpenwald9475]

​@@PeteAndHisBusHow high was the bus once pulled by the recovery truck ? Around 4m50 ?

[@MiniDan-lz8ij]

​@PeteAndHisBus I feel so mad kids smashed the windows are the windows rare and or expensive to replace ?

[@Bad.crafts]

So the owners would rather it stays in a field and rot than selling it to you? But are happy for you to fix it for free? And store it for them for free? I can see you genuinely care about the history behind the bus which is why you are doing what you are doing but the owners seem to be taking you for a ride which is sad 😔 if they cared at all for the bus they would sell it to you at a heavy discount for the work you have already put into it

Hello from Calgary Alberta Canada. I agree with the comment. Why are you doing this all for free. What do you get out of it. The owner gets a refurbished bus. Is this what you do for a living.

This made me so happy and actually brought a sentimental tear to my eye. Until the age of 6 I lived in a British Leyland 600. Long before the New Age movement (I'm 45 now). The day my parents sold it and the new owners drove it away, I was inconsolable. Apparently it was to make it's way to Portugal, but I have no idea if it did or where it is now. My parents would take it to the odd fair and festival but it was mainly static whilst they built/converted our new home. When ever I step into one of these classic split cab buses, it feels like a home coming to me. ❤️
