Well, Jennifer 4900 is there best one from a drivers perspective ..
Any special reason or just because its 4900?



Nicely done! But in all seriousness, according to a friend at BC, it's the fastest and smoothest. All the things you need on the 900, and no jolting and quick doors. I've yet to have the pleasure of a ride yet, but I do strongly have faith my source.

On Saturday myself and my mom and dad got on 4900 (outward) and 4901 (return) 4900 was the fastest out the two even with the strong wind blowing that didn't stop Jen going fast at all. You won't be disappointed LS believe me :)

Was also on 4900 earlier last week and it can fly down the A45 (I think its a45 aha) moves off quickly too
Quick doors too unlike a omnilink for example

I'm on it now as I type this :p

For the record 4909 is still in a sorry state in the pit at YW.

I take it from the lack of front end branding this one went into the back of 4909.

Nice to see it back. As long as the front branding and the 'Molly' name is replaced

Which hasn't happened yet. It looks very out of place.

Saw it the other day being driven by an engineer down and around Coventry Road/Watering Hole Island/Ring Road lacking most rear decals.
