Good boy John. Looks like THESE have the yellow around the headlights too

Spotted on Marlyn Road about 200m past the terminus is an old Volvo, presumably ex MTT. Could not make out too many details except that it is painted all over white with double blind desto. Anyone know what this is?

Can't remember the #, but it's a B58 CAC Mk.I (#54 > #68). Has had the desto box reduced. Used to be parked down Clarendon Vale

Don't think so. Pretty sure it was around when Wisbys was for sale.

Launceston 214 has lost its Greencard AOA, 210 had the back removed of its AOA when i saw both vehicles a couple of days ago. I suspect 210 has had it all removed by now.

Nope, had #210 yesterday. It's only naked on the back end. When I saw it I laughed to myself and thought "maybe they'll go yellow rear, too".

OK!! #328 & #329 have arrived The 4 x RIGID (12.5m) CB60s order complete
BRING ON THE ARTICS
#326 & #327 have had the yellow painted on the headlights, BUT the black under the windscreen has remained.

2 x M.A.N.s are heading to the boat (Spirit of Tasmania) tomorrow. #512 is one, don't know the other YET

ex #516 M.A.N.10.180, (O'Driscoll's newest addition) has been painted and almost ready for delivery.

Wasn't (2) in the end. ONLY (1) #512. Going to QLD I believe. Future unsure. Organised through Beiga Bus Sales. Went like a dream. Sat on 90ks without missing a beat. Driven by metro_tas's POP.
