Well we just did it. Holy shit we bought a bus! Nothing like impulsiveness, it was the first one we looked at (in real life that is). Brad has been doing online market research for years - knows every bus in the country for sale. We've talked about doing this for years, but it was always just talk - it just got excitingly real!

For those who believe in numbers and alignment of the stars, we made our purchase at 12.00 noon on 12/12/2012. Add to that, my beloved old 1985 Mercedes Saloon is sadly leaving my possession soon, but guess what, the bus just happens to be a 1985 Mercedes (ha ha Brad we've got another one). We also later discovered as that this bus started it's life as a school bus for Bunyip Primary School which just happens to be the school Lola was at our time of purchase. We found a note to the bus driver and lots of original old documents while stripping it out.

So it's a 50 seater 1316 PMC Adelaide. It was a school bus in the Avoca area in great mechanical condition with a lot of work done to pass it's final inspection as a school bus. We didn't even have to travel far, purchased from Trafalgar during a lunch break, just up the road.

Out for a quick drive during my lunch break at work and sold! She's ours.
