Ryan, you definitely win the "Bestest sticker on the back of a bus award" with second place still in the last turn still heading for the flag.
Great stuff dude, keep on enjoying your ride and setting the bar!

Well done Ryan. Been a long time for you getting bits and pieces together. Can't wait to see it in the flesh. Let me know when you drive it to work one day.

will do Paul.

got the bed working today,nothing too exciting, but hey... had to add some reinforcements for the baby seat etc, that pushed the foam up a little, but works well all the same.. had to strip the trim and remove the old brackets and re mount it to some different ones, was fun..

just put my foot down, could have got more but was revving wayy to hard..

I had one at past 160, however driving in reverse was too hard to take the photo!..

(this of course was on a private road under strictly controlled safety conditions)

And with only one hand on the wheel.
My bus does 130 these days, all I had to do was put the smaller tyres on the front.
Easy peasy!
