As you probably all know,our workhorse the XL Bus has been a source of conversation for the last couple of years.

It is with great regret i have to inform you all that she has died,the great X111 FTS trafic is no more.

It died a sudden but painful death on the M25 J14 throwing a small end causing an unplanned emergency stop.

Rest in Peace. cry

Hold on a sec...whilst you all mourn the X L mobile (much appriciated, thank you) please don't feel too sorry for mr X L. He has just put in the order for its replacement and as its likely to be registered with the same plate, the X L bus, albeit MkII, will live once more to terrorise the streets on Britain! hehe

shout CHARLIE! Wheres them details on the ECU then?

Oi wench i loved /love that van it was my baby!

And they say jealousy doesn't exist in the female genetics scratchchin

As the cover of MK2 is blown it only seems fair to say it will be a faster version of the old bus and may get nearer to Blues bhp figures hehe
