You may recall last week’s soft-core, then orange-coloured 1984 D635 parked at the Malahide, Co Dublin, beach terminus.
Well, the bus went on to have several lives as a ‘mature’ double decker.
Before radio’s Simon Maher (above) and Steve Conway fell for the x-rated charms of the retro bone rattler.
Simon sez:
Following on from your picture of myself and Steve Conway’s bus, This is her (centre) taken this week as she awaits restoration to her former glory :) Capital D [presented By Ann Cassin] also did an item on her (video above).
Filthy.
