Buying a bus to LIVE IN.

It's definitely not your average purchase, but Lindzi fancied a chance in life and circumstances, and wanted to use this as an opportunity for positive change.

This is the story of Lindzi's live-in double decker bus.

It's actually an ex community bus - and on those lines, Lindzi is turning it into a community library that travels across the country.

Full interview and bus tour is on my YouTube channel, Resto Revival.

SUNDAY RECAP.

This week's spotting, mostly courtesy of a Scottish detour:

Bentley R-Type Continental — a six-figure car parked between typical lifeless SUVs at the services on the Scottish border. Owner is an old-money octogenarian called Hugh who refuses to insure it for what it's actually worth.

Two Lotus'; One Exige (yellow V6 Cup) and one Elise (green track-spec) — clearly out together. Owners are two mates who do trackdays at Knockhill and have a running disagreement about which colour is faster.

Citroën ZX Temptation — a 90s French hatch with a "Retrosh*te" sticker, which tells you everything. Owner has strong opinions about which Citroën is the best Citroën, and you do not want to ask.

Suzuki Jimny — spotted in a Scottish coastal town. Owner is a smallholder who finds Cotswolds Jimny owners deeply embarrassing.

Series III Land Rover — W-plate, snorkel, light bar, fresh from being either rescued or delivered. Owner refers to mud as "conditions."

See you next week!

Did you know each Twisted Automotive vehicle has thousands of hours spent on it?

So much time is taken to create a classic Defender with just the right balance of modern, creature comforts.

This imported Defender is really rather rare, and features a 2.8L 6-cylinder diesel under the bonnet!

My full tour of the Twisted Factory in Yorkshire, is on my YouTube channel, just search Resto Revival.

SUNDAY RECAP.

A trip to Montenegro this week saw some new sights, some fun, others slightly perplexing...

BMW 3 series (E46) with some very cool steel wheels.

Fiat 126 (from 1972 - 2000 era), with police livery.

Lada Niva Legend 4x4 overlander, which looked great in person.

A Volvo 850 inspired by the touring car days, taking part in a Montenegro Hill Climb

Finally, a Dongfeng Forthing T5 Evo...? Yep, me neither. A new SUV with petrol or hybrid power with a modern, techy interior. Just another SUV blob?

See you next Sunday!

Stumbling upon a Rally Stage in Montenegro.

Great weather, great cars and a fantastic country would make for a great rally day.

P.S. bonus spot for a Rally Volvo 850 R

Be honest... Do you know how to get in & out of a TVR Tuscan?

This British Beast of a sportscar is unique in many ways, not least the door switches!

My full video with .ted can be found on my YouTube channel.

P.S. the car was powerful enough that it broke my GoPro.

Know anyone that personally owns a fire engine? How about owning two fire engines...?

For Stuart, a family all working in the fire service, it was never going to end up any other way!

One of the trucks he now owns is the first fire truck his dad ever rode in.

In my full interview on Resto Revival YouTube we talk about how he bought them, what it's like to live with fire engines and the emotional connection that started it all.
