This could be a great project to restore it into a house bus, leaving some of those great bits of character.
Lots of old busses languishing in country lots. Once planned to be campers no doubt. Also regular city busses which are a bit fancier. They can be bought at a good price when they require some work to keep them fit for public transit. They make a journey to their new home awaiting conversion to a motor home. But if the project gets delayed too long the moving parts soon seize up and the bus has reached its final resting place. I think this is a very common story.

What a perfect built in filter!!!
Nose Art immediately reminded me of the first DSLRs where the placement of the LCD screen meant it was always going to have nose prints on it - I called it the nose panel.

Haha, true. My DSLR came with a plastic screen cover - a nose guard maybe.

My sister and spent Wednesday driving through the back roads of central Georgia. Here are some signs we came across...
Great additions to Sign Spotting!
Friendly, eh. It doesn’t even say “Welcome to...”.
I know, right? It messed with my vibe.
I’ve been watching lately how some pictures fit well in the list banners, like this one does, and how other pictures don’t work at all. I’ve got something coming up that looks at this idea a little more.
I love how your mind works!

Slack top is a few hundred yards up the road.
There's a lot of tops and bottoms around here. Yorkshire place names can be quite bluntly literal sometimes. My guess is they called this place slack because it's the only flat place between two steep inclines. If you're on foot lugging coal bags up a hill with a horse drawn cart you'd want a break half way to slack off a bit.
Aha!!! Very interesting.

Coal is also Slack though isn't it, so it could be the bottom of the Slack........or something

Yes it is and there was a lot of industry here during the revolution. The bottom bit is literally the lowest point though. There's a slack top as well which is...... er, higher up than the bottom.Coal is also Slack though isn't it, so it could be the bottom of the Slack........or something
I checked a dictionary. Slack is also middle English for a small dell or hollow or a bog and this place fits that description. Knowing the straight forward thinking of the Yorkshire mind I now think Slack Bottom translates to "the lower end of that manky bit o wet mud yer wheels'll get stuck in if you stop too long. Best keep moving lad, there's strange folk mek it tha' homes. 'S'only fit fer pigs."
I. Love. It.
