Re: Former Darwin Bus 81 in Colac (Vic)
Found this one! It's in a field not too far from Sunbury. I've seen a picture of one of the other buses that it sits with, for sale at the same place, about nine years ago, but it looks like they may have not sold and all been moved together as I'm fairly sure that's not the site that they're at no...

Re: Berry Double Deckers
That Berry double decker imported a lot of preserved deckers, never last long and sold commercially.
A number of interesting well preserved vehicles are now a non runner. One ended up in Adelaide, one in Melbourne and disapppeared

Re: Volgren Discussion / Observations
I'm feeling a bit "Optimus-tic" about Canberra at the moment, because looks like VM0370/QCity TV9266 (Optimus decker No. 3) is getting quite a good reception over there during his tram replacement stint between Gungahlin and Dickson. (There's some pictures up about at the ACT Bus forum as...

Re: O500LEs: Great or Rubbish
I have driven the Euro 6 one with Bustech body. I am going to mention about the body, the chassis is just worse than Euro 5. Poor steering lock and heavier than the Euro 5. Transmission with factory standard settings is just hopeless
