These are signs I saw in or on a bus recently.
Action bus 321 in regards to where to park Scanias.

And on bus 303 was an Entrant sign to Summernats. Did it compete ???

Wow, very interesting!
I also noticed all these stickers on some irisis stuck on the windscreen and rears about summernats, i hope they were put there by action, otherwise some vandals and nats bogans were advertising by ruining our buses, but i havent seen them since so im guessing they were just on for the weekend.
Great pics! Love the Crowthers one, and good scoop with the other ones!
ACTION have had their buses as part of the summernats for many years. I recall bus 900 being spruced up and apparently having the engine tweaked for a performance out there when it was near new. Also 674 (the PR100 demo) wore a summernats AOA for many years.
900 had a modified engine? Does it still retain that?
The engine wasn't modified as such, just opened right up for maximum performance (so the story goes anyway, most of what i heard about it was 2nd hand info). I do recall seeing it being driven around a fair clip on the drag way, was a PR exercise for ACTION at the time, must have been around 1992.
Ha ha, thats awesome, thanks for that info!
Did it win? ;D
