A mate recently had an argument with a Council bus and lost. The pic shows the result.

Here's what will replace it. It's going to take a while. I might add to this thread as the build progresses.

Everyone was surprised that he survived. He has broken ribs and a smashed up wrist plus cuts and bruises. His wrist may be a problem. The surgeon isn't sure yet that they might have to fuse it up. He has to wait and see how it turns out before he can get serious about the camper build.

And an argument with a council bus is one you can never win! Until they change the road rules to stop busses being able to just pull out and stuff everybody else, these sorts of things will happen, and sadly, even if you are in the right, the council busses have right of way and it doesn't seem to matter if common sense is on your side or not.

Of course I don't know the particulars, but car vs bus is never a good mix.
