The two main liveries of the Routemasters are my two favourite colours. These colours are red and green. They're also Christmas colours.

I appreciate that Routemasters have been pumping through London's "veins', for as long as they have. I've had the privialge of seeing them in movies and on TV shows. The future generations of people to come, won't be as lucky as I was.

If my story is a big hit and gets made into a movie, I'll have one of the characters drive a Routemaster monster truck!!

I'm going to buy my wind-up Routemaster, tomorrow. I've thought that I could wait until next Saturday, but I can't resist a smiling Bus. :heart:

Ding! Ding!

Well, judging by the website, which is where I looked first, only Wellington and Auckland (sounds like Stagecoach only provides their bus services in those areas).

More Routemaster stuff!! ! I spent about an hour this morning getting these screenshots from a game I have (I was like "Yesss!" when I saw that the Double Decker was a Routie!). Two of them I even edited in Photoshop! Hope you like 'em, Cockney!

This one mimics your old Avatar:

Routemaster's Revenge, Part I:

Routemaster's Revenge, Part II (ding ding this, sucka!):

And, to top it all off...

...a GROOVIE ROUTEMASTER!! !!

Now, if you can locate your favourite London landmark, and which paintjob you want, I can whip up another one in a couple of minutes...

Once again, hope you like these!

Thanks! As I said, I could make yet another one with it in front of your favourite London Landmark!

Ding Ding! (heh, I like saying that!)
And an award for spelling my username right!
