You only have to watch Highway Patrol to see old Commodores retired from family transport, see a second lease of life on the fleet of Bogan Transport, complete with fully sick(and often illegal) modifications to the exhaust, wheels and audio systems. But these days I find people who drive dual cab u...

There is quite a few second hand acquisitions for the charter fleet listed, the ex Panorama units mentioned plus some from Donric and Grant's Coach Lines, in SA, plus a King Long from Rowville Secondary College. Must of picked up some more school contracts this year.

The new age recyclable cutlery McDonalds have now, had a coffee and pancakes from the breakfast menu the other morning, at the outlet near work, the new knives and forks are useless and were unable to penetrate a bloody pancake. They also have these new useless paper straws. The McDonalds outlet nea...

Maybe the reason our Camira looked good after it's accident repairs because the panel beater used a better paint, or applied it better than GMH did, they did the lot because not did we rear end someone, the car behind rear ended us.

I wonder if they are ever going to repaint the ex Smartbus B7RLE's into PTV livery. A bit of an end of an era the B7RLE's retiring from orbitals, as I rode on them extensively over many years across routes 901 and 903. Also noticed since I have returned from lockdown, that many of the buses that had...

Camira, we had one, a 1983 model, as the family hack in the 1980's, used more oil than petrol, needing an engine overhaul at two or three years old and began to look old and tired at that time, an encounter with an echidna caused it to rear end another car and as a result, it got a nice repaint, and...

My uncle recently acquired a circa 2010 Captiva for $9000 (reduced from $13,000 as the dealer wanted it gone), as a cheap second car, turns out it is not all that cheap. Radio died, DPF buggered, Engine light coming on constantly and Holden authorised service centre unable to fix, the list goes on. ...

Been noticing that down here in Melbourne too, there is one tradie that frequently catches the same bus I do, the driver gives him a pleasant greeting, tradie calls driver for everything under his breath with f and c bombs, no provocation at all. Also some tradies coming into the McDonalds near my w...

Those diva tennis players in quarantine. They are lucky to even be allowed to play the Australian open in Melbourne.

I have travelled on numerous Scania K230's and B7RLE's here in Melbourne that were built in Malaysia and there is not much noticeable difference. I suppose Volgren send a kit to Supportrans, they put it together, then ship it back, and they get fitted with seats and other small bits, compliance plat...

Been noticing via fleet lists that most if not all of the Endura school/charter buses in 2020 are being built by Volgren Malaysia(Supportrans), are they concentrating on route bus production in Dandenong, with Endura production being done in Malaysia?, or is Dandenong still building a small number o...

Love the sign on the Higer, telling drivers to cancel the turn signals manually, the mechanism must of failed and they could not be bothered fixing it or the parts to fix it were on long back order.

I drink milk a lot, with the occasional soft drink, mainly on hot days and accompanying such meals such as fish and chips.

I like McDonalds coffee frappe in summer.

My last day of lockdown in Victoria, Dan sets us free at midnight. Judge Judy today, the second case, the litigants are driving her up the wall with a stupid BS case. JJ: "Byrd (bailiff), do me a favour, show them the door", your case is dismissed get out" Old Judge Judy is getting a bit grumpy late...

According to the fleetlist, the only one left to go after 574 and 585, is 542.

Being in stage 4 lockdown, now approaching 8 weeks. Driving me crazy

The piece of Fried flake I had for lunch, it was so greasy and had zero taste

To win the 40m Powerball draw and get out of Victoria.

Daniel Andrews resigning, rolled in a leadership spill, or being voted out.
Going to a dine in all you can eat Pizza Hut.

Dogs.

To get out of stage 4 lockdown, back to work and commuting.

Nuisance calls, I have three of them today. Sounds like they come from India.

"Your internet is slow, we can fix it". I say it is fine, he goes on and on, I hang up.

In stage 4 lockdown, it is getting a bit much.

Getting a phone call from our local MP's office (Liberal) asking how we are in stage 4 lockdown.

Judge Judy telling one of the litigants "You are either thick or stupid"

When I recently bought a coffee at Maccas(with a meal and not one of my usual stores), the girl at the Mccafe counter banged the coffee on the counter, I say thank you, she says a very gruff goodbye. Usually the most polite service I have had has been at Maccas, especially stores near where I work w...

This could of been just in Melbourne, turned it on at 3pm, The Batchelor was on, brought up the EPG, no mention of Judge Judy, just went straight into the cooking show. There has been a few days where they have shown two Judge Judy episodes back to back. She has some very stupid people in her court....

Channel Ten ditching Judge Judy in favour of an encore screening of The Bachelor.

Judge Judy is funny. The Bachelor is trash.
