semi-interesting. I had to chuckle at the rendition of one "patina'd" rusty black over orange one. Ya couldn't drive that long over any American pot-holed road.

It sure looked real but now I see the same pine trees repeating. CGI sure has gotten realistic.
After watching Peter Rabbit I had to remind myself bunnies don't wear coats. |

After reading your comment, I had to look up and watch the Chemical Brothers "Star Guitar" music video. _________________ Founder and Chairman Emeritus, ECMSAS

Saw this at our local show a few years ago.
Couldn't work out what was going on with the front end on it. It doesn't curve correctly. The door hinges are weird too and the front rain gutter looks like it was cut to size with a grinder.
The bus is owned by a franchise in the UK. Seems like the company has franchises in multiple countries. You get the bus as part of the franchise. Buses from other franchises look more correct, but most seem to be bays. _________________ Andy

I wondered that, but if so; they did a lot of work to the rear end too...

I think that's the end of an led strip that's stuck along the side under the gutter. _________________ Andy

probably originally a Brazilian bus with a bay front, and a small hatch back with a big window. Look at the cab door and dogleg. _________________ .

Saw this on COUB TV last night.
Starts off with the Honda Mini-Trail 50 then slowly pans back.
Then final whole stack of four vehicles.
All have people in them. |

That was an advert for a payday loans company in the UK a couple of years ago. _________________ Andy

I'm not sure if this has been posted earlier in the thread, but this is apparently located in McMinnville, Oregon.
I found it doing an image search for this Barndoor boat.
Edit: Here is a link to more pictures of the boat

I think maybe the McMinville bus is gone now. I was there a decade ago when we drove by. _________________ nothing |
