Under 16's get in free, nice one for me :1:

Maybe we could arrange for some of us to bring our coaches on behalf of www.coachdriverforum.co.uk (http://www.coachdriverforum.co.uk) ? Promo this site and your companys, sounds positive for all. I could get some graphics done if this went ahead, I hope it does.



Regards,

I'll certainly be there! There's always a good Routemaster and classic turnout. I'm hoping next year, I'll be able to drive a coach there :driving:... Won't be mine unless I win the lottery of course :nopity:

Same, I hope to get loads of pictures for some of my models so I can do photoreal textures :)

Will speak to you when showbus is closer about meeting and then hopefully we can get some nice pics together.

What a great event for cdf members to meet.:thumb_yello:

I'll be on holiday in Wales that weekend so won't be there. I was there with a couple of our motors last year and I always look out for the photos though...

Cheers

I'm off that day, they already have enough drivers for our Routemasters. If anyone in the London/South area needs an auto driver to ferry any vehicles to Showbus, to coin a phrase, "I'm free!"
