Ailsas and stuff

Postby Goldrider on Mon Dec 29, 2008 10:42 am

I think theres at least one bloke on here who remembers the old Glasgow "A"'s....
I don't have any Glasgow ones but have a few fotos of some......

Had a ride on this one up and down a short stretch of the Essex coast. Even upstairs it was deafening, and it didn't half shift!

This Ailsa is one of the fastest deckers I've seen. Can outpace cars quite happily away from the lights apparently! :lol:

From what I hear they are knackered heaps of shite....First Eastern Counties (Norwich) got some W plate VO's from Bristol and they are all sheds, so I doubt that L reg ones are any nicer!
