This bus sounds exactly like the jimmies that I rode in Timmins when I was a kid.

Reminds me of a time I lived in Éire in 1987/88 and had an orgy of G.M. two-strokes, with MG-class Bus Éireann coaches all over the roads and E.M.D.- powered locos. all over the rails; utterly glorious and memorable! Only the 071s left now in national service, with the 201-class interest well down the list owing to the "Euro-bore" standards on exhaust noise having been applied. D.Ds. nearly gone in U.K. but a few lifeboats left with twin 6V-92TAs; fantastic din!

That was certainly one thing to be said about CIE buses back then. They certainly had character.
Wow, just listen to that roaring off into the distance. What do they use now? Boring Volvos?

Ah!! Brilliant!! How I miss that sound!! One thing to be said for the K-Class, they certainly had a lot of character. I used to love the KDs. Give me the old green 84 anyday!!
