Taco Truck!   

Or it could be a Burning Man Hippie Bus

[Radish]

Or you could just paint it blue.

Or....what about the top rear "open" for a band to play "on tour"....living quarters "below"?? Need to be a small band (no, not midgets!!)....I was thinking 3 or 4 max.

Top deck full of Hedgehog mortars 

Do you mean  to attack hedgehogs, do you mean operated by Captain Tiggywinkle and her troops, or are wemerely hoping to use them to sink U boats?

A fair few....................

Now if your really interested, I also have large numbers of photos of Leyland Atlantian's, Daimler Fleetline's, Bristol VRT's ect ect ect. 

Like I said before, I had quite an interest in buses as a kid. I traveled all over the country with my trusty old Practika MTL50 SLR taking photos of buses and coaches, Most of the time I would be on route to an airport for some plane spotting......Remember when you could do that with out being treated like a potential terrorist at Heathrow or Gatwick?

Yep, remember those East Yorkshire Motor Services ones I mentioned?  These were introduced in the late eighties after the Beverley Bar Bus Martin posted, but in a retro livery to suit the Routemasters age (I guess EYMS whiff too).  The EYMS livery was red and white at the time, then burgundy and cream, Routemasters have been in both of those schemes too.  Although they've all been retired from main service, one is kept in the historical fleet.


And guessing what's coming next, pink has been done too!
