Could you please do a drivearound provided this bus is still around?

[tiffanysl]

Sure...when I have the chance next time I'll try to do so

Good tour of the bus. Control layout seems nice and simple. I like the seating configuration with single seats opposite of the door. I've never tried this but when the door is closing and you touch the rubber part does it pop back open? I its call sensitive edge.

[tiffanysl]

I would say when the door is closing if you push the silver aluminium bar the door would open back again...and if the bar is keep being pushed the door would remain open

Is this bus powered by a 6V53, a 6V71, a 6V92 or some other Detroit Diesel engine?

[tiffanysl]

Not sure...all I know so far is it's older Detroit Diesel engine

Or it could be a Series 50, eh?

I have always wondered, what does it feel like behind the wheel of a bus? Being a bus driver in my hometown of Windsor has always occured to me for a future career.
