    Defender - 1 Bus- 0

    Got rear ended bus a city council bus this afternoon

    Bus, well it needed to be towed, weird looking blue fluid spewed out the front of the bus, didn't realize the radiators were in the front

    Defender - although the tow bar took all the force, passenger tail light broken, my new flash tow hitch needs a new o- ring and cover, will need to check if it has not been bent, the tow bar doesn't seem to have moved.

    Passengers - Wendy daughter knocked her head, Wendy has just had two pins inserted in her foot an it copped a nice jolt, me I'm a bit backee, my two boys.....they thought it was all a great laugh the bus not being able to drive........

    purely understandable in those big buses they lose sight of the little cars!!! glad you are all OK, but I'd still get your car checked out by a crash repairer etc in case something is bent internally!

    by the way when I said "why don't you catch a bus" I didn't mean it literally!!

    Glad to hear you are all ok, especially after the terrible news from Victoria earlier on. You would think these big fella's would know better than to pick on a pit bull terrier! bOB

    most buses dont have the radiator up the front, they do have the heat exchanger for the ECS though.
