Anyone watch topgear tonight? James may tested the borrismaster! Though I noticed at the end there were no ADL Buses representing them even though they are built in Scotland and Scarborough

There was certainly a Plaxton Coach there, which is part of ADL
I saw an Enviro400 parked on The Mall at the end. Not clearly, but you could see the shape of it
James May did make me laugh though ;D

I didn't notice the coach but i'm not too familiar with my coaches, good to see there was though :)

oh really? I must have missed that!
You could clearly see the Optare buses on the right hand side, the red Enviro400 was on the far left if I remember correctly
Rubbish! Completley missed that one :( ;) I will watch it on Iplayer
It is repeated tomorrow at 7pm on BBC2 :)

And the typical thing is that i watch top gear every week and the one week i forget to miss it James May is driving a BorisMaster. The Stig should take it round the test track and see where it comes on the leaderboard ;D

He'd probably make it fall over like the Reliant Robin ;)
Anyone watch Jeremy Clarkson mash up his Caravan last week? ;D
TG was quite funny :)

Can someone Photoshop the Borismaster into the West Midlands (preferably Wolverhampton Bus Station), important in blinds (using an old Metrobus photo maybe) and if it's not too much, try it in NXWM livery with logos.
I'm optimistic...

Think someone has already photoshopped it into NXWM and NXC livery

Thought it was the design of the bus itself I didn't like, but to me it doesn't look quite as hideous as the red somehow

Just watched the repeat on Dave, the Enviro400 is in fact 'Sprit of London.
Wasn't it the first Enviro400 to be built 'LX55 HGC', and TWM 'BX55 XOA' the second?
Still hilarious to watch James May driving the NBFL ;D Am I right in thinking he would not need a PCV licence as no passengers were carried?

Not sure if he has kept it current, but James May used to be a bus driver, so has had a PSV licence and may still do so

I believe so, with Metroline taking the first batch. I was in Liverpool last Tuesday and was quite strange to see ALX400 bodies on an 06 plate!
