Who needs 4x4 or winter tyres? Not the bus Stig!! - NortonES2
12 liters with lots of torque, and max revs at about 2400 rpm (when I had some dealings with a fatality involving a MAN 10 litre truck in a garage) - but the issue is controlling the torque, which amongst car drivers is apparently not universal:). It probably helps that the bus has some form of auto gearbox and maybe winter setting so it has all the torque of a Jazz but at 800rpm?

Ah i did wonder, should never have happened like that as you well know.
What you may not know is that the workshops refused to have that truck in the depot after the incident, and they swapped my tractor for that very one...so that one you investigated became my regular vehicle.

That took some courage for the bus driver to attempt that - either that or there was no way he could turn round at the bottom, meaning that he had no choice!
I am SO glad that we escaped the worst of the recent 'big freeze'. I absolutely hate driving buses in ice and snow and am constantly petrified that something will happen that I have no control over.
This was taken in January during the bad weather in Liverpool. The thought of being behind the wheel of one of those buses whilst it slides down Hardman Street is not enticing.
NOTE: You may wish to turn the sound off whilst watching the clip - the person that posted it has chosen some, frankly, appalling music to go over it.
