High Roof Drag Bus
How cool is this split bus , hope to find more imfo soon !
I think it ran at European bug-in and at Santa Pod recently. What a block of flats , plus looks like it's got some power on board .
Found more imfo,

no idea but even with any weight saving and perspex windows it would still be pretty heavy.... just think about the fact that it runs a 14 and lifts
the wheels off the line, there has got to be some serious gearbox in there!

Its the UK Matt.... its either sand or water!!!! Its the closest we get to a beach at Santa Pod 
From what I understand I'll be up close & personal with this bus in a few weeks - if I am I'll get some details pictures and post em up.
I often wonder how effective those squirrel fans are at driving temperatures down..... not sure what cfm they are. Anyone got a clue?
