You're welcome! Always a pleasure to be creative.

I've bought a book on London, today. It's a compilation of photographs. There are at least ten pictures of Routemasters in the book that I've found.

I love books with lots of pictures. Then again, I never learned how to read. :(

Aww, that's too bad! Hooked on Phonix(I think that's how you spell it) can help improve your ability to read. I got it a few days ago, and I can now type complete sentences.

Recent Routemaster Sightings:

In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: In a shot where everyone's panicking on Earth at the beginning, you can see half of a Routemaster to the right of the shot.

In an Episode of Air Crash Investigation: There was a shot where it showed the reflective (chrome-style) welcome sign of a research lab. What should drive by on the street than a Routemaster!! !

Oh, and on my holiday, when I went to Amsterdam I saw dozens of Cockney's personal demons....



...the Bendy Buses (Dum dum DUUUUUUUMMM!! !!)

There will never be another Bus like the dear, old Routemaster. I'll miss her, very dearly. :(

I was dreaming about me Buses and than all of the sudden, Incubus was pressing down on my chest, and I couldn't breathe. Psycologists have said that Incubus Nightmares are the most likely to happen to a person, when they're in paradise. At least I was dreaming about my First Love, before I've felt that pressing sensation. :)

Perhaps the best I could contribute to this thread is voice my dislike for the Mercedes-Benz O 530 (aka Citaro), which is also running in London. Too swift, too clean, too silent.

This can also double as a Routemaster Trubiute Thread, as well.

Ding! Ding!

The PRV Routemasters, with the rosey cheeks, were the original and the greatest! :)

It kills me not to post about Routemasters, more often. I'll get through this.

What blows me away, is who my favourite Bus ended up being my favourite colour. 8)

That's cool 8)

Is the one in your Avatar one? I think it is...

Besides, why do you think this is called the Routemaster APPRECIATION thread?! Go on, rave about how much you love 'em!

I hope that I win the Super 7, tonight. I'll be able to move into a three-storyed house, and fill all of my eight bedrooms with Routemaster replicas.
