In preparation for the Bus Run 2009 we thought it was probably a good idea to have a vehicle with which to carry us from Morocco to Ghana, being as it is, a long way to hitch-hike. Without one it also wouldn't be much of a Bus Run as such, so we're happy to report that Mark has been busy and has sourced an ex-army Leyland DAF.
There's definitely some opportunity here for everyone coming on the trip to name her, but it may be that that's not possible until she begins to show her personality on the road. Early suggestions are more than welcome to help get us started though. Chances are that she won't look like this for long as impersonating the army through various West African countries is likely to lead to a whole lot of trouble, although conversely it could work in our favour, you just never know!
There'll be more pics soon, and as soon as I've had a sensible chat with Mark I'll list all the work we're planning on doing to turn her into the best truck you'll ever ride in.
All the best,
Tom
