Owning a bus was always a joy as long as it doesnt breakdown or get flat tyres or get vandalised or have no where safe to park.As long as the downsides are covered, and they were for the 10 years that I owned an ex-London Transport AEC Swift (now at Cobham bus museum), owning a bus is a challenge that brought out the best in me. When maintenance and local accomodation became an issue I sold up......i still miss my old Swift but sometimes I get to drive a friendÃ‚Â´s Routemaster which he uses in conjunction with his catering business.
these days i own:
1994 Toyota Hiace ( everyday driver)
1992 Peugeot 205 (wifes)
1984 VW LT 28 van (runs but not needed, too sentimental to let it go...)
1975 Marina estate (rusty)
1975 Marina TC coupe LHD
1974 Marina TC coupe
1973 Marina TC saloon

over the years i have had,
1983 MK 1 Astra G.T.E
1993 Nova G.S.I
1990 Escort Turbo Convertible
1994 Calibra 16v x2
1993 Calibra 16v
1996 Calibra Turbo
2000 Astra Coupe Turbo
2001 Volkswagen Golf Turbo
1995 Volkswagen Golf G.T.I
1999 Citroen Xsara V.T.S

All those cars were very quick unlike my present daily runner, a famliy sized 1999 Renault Laguna

But the look on people's faces when in a marina is priceless.
