The Bus Fire Ken mentioned was actually a Premier Motor Service Coach that was running empty back to the Figtree depot in Wollongong.

It is being built for Premier Motor Service. Premier currently have 4 of them here in Nowra and they have started to enter service on the Sydney to Eden runs. I believe that we have a few more to come too.

Thanks guys :) Tom, looks like either you or Mark B are going to need to head up to Figtree armed with some badges and suitable adhesive or tools, eh!! :P Hahaha yeah. The badges are probably still in the panel shop at Nowra. I know that there are some Daewoo and Hino ones in there. But I havent se...

Great pics Windy. Nice shots Windy. Would be nice if those Premier Mercedes actually had a Mercedes badge though! Theres even room for them under the signage. Would vastly improve the look on the front. :wink: I agree. Unfortunately, all buses that get repainted dont get their badges put back on. Do...

Ive got the game and had some trouble getting it working at first. Ended up having to upgrade Vista to the Service Pack 1. All of the crap you have to go through just to install the game is a pain too. The graphics are amazing and so far I have found the game to be pretty good. Im not very far in ye...

Yeah I also tried changing the "p" to a "b" but I still couldnt sent the email through Yahoo Mail.

PM sent as I was having trouble emailing you. Kept getting the emails returned to my inbox. But one may have gotten through.

V8 Supercars 3 has other names. The title was changed in different regions of the world so that it would appeal to the local markets. For example in Australia it is V8 Supercars 3, in Europe it is TOCA Race Driver 3 and in the US it is Pro Race Driver etc. You should be able to find some cheats sear...

It was scrapped for parts last year. It has had its engine and gearbox removed and was sitting up the back as a complete body. But a few months ago the rear axle and fuel tank were cut out of the back half and it was taken away as scrap. The front end is still in the same spot today. You can see the...

Another OH1830LE has been delivered to Premier Illawarra via Nowra Coaches, where it was painted and signwritten. It is MO-7067 and left Nowra late last week.

Saw another Kennedy's Rereg. today. MO-9106 is now 2355-MO. Also passed a Culburra Coaches P&D Volvo today and it has the new plates too but I didnt catch the number.

Hi mmtranz2002, The bus is still at Nowra Coaches - I see it at work every day. It was deregistered mid last year when the ex BCC Volvo/Denning Artic (993) was bought to replace it. Dont know for sure what is in store for it in the future but they have kept it unregistered for quite some time now. B...

School t cards will be decommissioned from Wednesday 19 March. Nowra Coaches have already started getting rid of theirs. And I believe the other bus companies on the South Coast got rid of theirs late last year. So who gets the green card readers - erg or enthusiats. The readers at Nowra Coaches ar...

A close up pic would of been good to see what the advert in Chinese looks like. I wouldn't mind seeing one of the ads before they get taken off. I had a look in the BCI that is currently in the Nowra Coaches depot (being painted and signwritten for Premier Illawarra) and it hasn't got any ads in it...

Great Pics Deano, BCI PK6120 MO7940 from Figtree Depot, operating a route 8 to Wollongong via Balgownie, about to turn into Frost Parade at Balgownie. Unlike the other BCI's this one doesn't have a rear desto. This BCI and the other latest one MO-7941 were originally both ordered for Nowra Coaches b...

Why bother, i doubt many of Premiers customers can read Chinese. Are the advertisment's allowed to be taken off? They were on the backs of the seats when the buses were delivered. I think that the ad also has a small section written in English.They could take the advertisements out if they wanted t...

Its an advertisement for the Chinese seat company who installed the seats. Its on the back of every seat in every BCI delivered to Premier Illawarra so far.

Should arrive in the next few days I think.

The ABC Magazine website puts an image and preview of the new issue on their front page and I normally find that the issue arrives a few days after the new image is uploaded. See Below:

We have got a Tom Tom ONE version 3 and it is brilliant. It has helped us get to so many places hassle free that we would have trouble finding otherwise. It is nice and simple to set up and use too.

Tom

Very Nice. I like the new theme. Thanks Ken.

Good pics, The Mills Tui/Merc is for sale again. http://www.omnibus.com.au/7138.html Some of the Nowra Coaches/Premier contributions to the rail replacement came back to Nowra today for a clean and a service, the 2 Daewoo Coaches, 3 Premier MS QCC Scanias and 2 Surf City Mercedes Coaches. Regards, Tom

Happy New Year to all.

Thanks for those, I will have to give the program a go. I have had a few plays around in paint before and it would be good to make something a little more detailed like yours always are.

Cheers,
Tom

Premier Illawarra MO-6627 and MO-6628 (BCI Lowfloors as above) have recently arrived in Nowra for their repaints.
