That Bay should have rather gone to the UK where it would have been fixed instead of it being used as a parts donor :evil:

Those vents are a typical feature of an Australian bus. Had something to do with dusty road conditions. Definetly not put together at Uitenhage. I've never seen one in SA before :D
