Hi,
Just thought I would share a vid of my bus, that is airing on TV in my home state of Tasmania, Australia. It was picked as the mascot for a artistic event, that travels all over my Island. I did 1600 miles in 4 days to get this footage. There is a 8 minute DVD, but the commecial that is on this site, is only a 30 secoind version.
Just click on this link, then at the bottom of the page, you will see a "Play Commercial" button. Hit that. let it load (It will stagger), then once loaded, play again & it is all cool.
Lots of fun, no trick photography or photoshop, all 100% real Tasmanian scenery.

Hope you like it.

Hi Pete,
Thanks, mate. It is a great little island. Lots of beautiful scenery. If he gets to Tasmania, get him to look me up. I will take him for a spin in some of my busses.

thats some sweet shit!

Every bus owner would do those miles to end up with an 8 minute HQ dvd of their beloved transport!

BTW
where are your high vents? 8)

Haha, thanks mate.
I can't get my head around loading the 8 minute DVD onto the Net. It is very big, so You Tube & Google won't take it. I am going to get a Mate to put it directly on my Webpage.

High vents came later, like 63 onwards. You will note however, the vents are facing outwards, where in the US & Europe, they face inwards. Aagin, that heavy Aussie dust.

Thanks,
Rob J

Nice Vid
Is that the area of Sallamanca market and the Ball and Chain in the first part? Some friends just opened a new night club some where in Hobart. Best state I have ever been to. If I ever leave California I'm moving to Tasie

Hi Guys,
Thanks for that. It is a great state & I know I am bloody lucky to have a cool bus like that & get paid to cruise around in it. Guess it is some good Karma coming my way.

Hey Justin,
Yes, that is Salamanca & right near the Ball & Chain. Is the new nightclub called "Curly's"? If so, it is going OFF! Big lines outside each night.
Tassie is a great place to live. Beautiful, natural state.

Finally got to view the video. That has to be the longest "exposure" a single bus has gotten on video! :o

Normally is a quick flash or some such! :roll:

Awesome filming! 8)

Thanks Pyro,
Yes, got a lot of exposure alright. Just wait until I work out how to post the DVD. Over 8 minutes total & at least 6 of them are of the bus & associated scenery.
Got a mate who is computer savvy coming over today & he is going to post & link it...I hope.
