Buses, coaches, & lorries

I have had a sift through the six years worth of invoices I sent regarding WFN . The bus certainly earned me a fair amount, but reading through some of them has brought back memories of some of the nightmares involved. That money was earned the hard way, with the accompanying cuts and bruises for trophies. Renewing many lengths of corroded 3/4" steel vacuum pipe that didn’t q u i t e line up without an additional tweak or three to start the union nuts; ditto renewing the oil pressure gauge pipe all the way from the underfloor engine to the binnacle, through about a dozen securing clips and behind cross members, numerous autolube pipes and the radiator; getting the steering box in and out for overhaul and getting the radiator complete with shroud, the fan and its support bracket and 3 ft long driveshaft out and back in place.

I can’t really say I was sad to see it go.
