For next month, I'm looking for new photos to use in Fleetwiki (http://www.actbus.net/fleetwiki/index.php?title=Fleet_Summary) so any of the following four images will be the "bonus category":
- Irisbus Agora Line near-side
- Scania L94UB off-side
- MAN 18.310 CNG near-side
- Scania K320UB CB80 off-side
Non-AOA bus and preferably no side advertising either.
