Request for a bus forum

Post by ThinLizzy »

Several members of this site have a keen interest in buses, and i feel they would benifit from their own forum, otherwise, the discussions on buses tend to drift into other forums and so one bus enthusiast might lose out of some valuable info due to it being a forum or topic which clearly has nothing to do with buses.
I expect if you asked John Dibbens, he will gladdly moderate it.

Hi,

Some were downloaded from this site, I can not remember where the rest came from but all I did was to do a search with Google, buses and Midtown Madness2, there is loads of stuff on this site below, including tools for repainting etc, have fun :)
