Best way to describe the engine, it sounds like someone has fitted a turbo to the engine, each gear change is giving out a very loud air sound. Never heard anything like it before, I assumed it was some idiot in a modified car, but just looked out to see a bus!

I must admit that, in contrast to previous years when there's been quite mix of vehicles used, and quite often quite few older ones, this year has seen pretty much E400s and E400MMCs across the board, with a very small handful of Tridents, most of which were dragged out of the Spares Dump at the back of Stroud.
