Title: New AOA
Post by: Buzz Killington on September 15, 2008, 06:11:35 PM
Spotted 969 tonight in a new AOA for the Canberra Centre

(apparently Renault Rider beat me to this news, however)

yeah its not bad. The rear is a charcoal gray with the swirls etc and the logo, left and right was white with olive green swirls, with a male and female model, Canberra Centre logo and slogan. I think it had a bunch of store names above the windows. There was no fleet number at the front on the right as there was a store name there.

don't know, pointless question. They may have taken the rack of while doing the wrap, or is this a proper AOA??

they've left the front alone on every AOA since about... 2001 now.. around the same time they moved to wraps for AOA's i think.

Nah, Chrus_Guru reported it to me, and I passed the news on to Busnerd, I still haven't seen it.

So much for ACTION only having two AOA buses for other companies (Which they were aiming for a few years ago!). Doesn't actually look half bad, proably one of the better white AOA's around.

Just saw 969 in a new canberra centre AOA. It matches the new 'defining fashion' tv ads. Looks pretty good!

i do believe i scooped you too, John. I made the mistake of posting here, then taking a phone call, before texting Busnerd only to be informed that you had told him 'four minutes ago"

Yes, you did actually, we only saw it seconds apart, but you saw it first, which is all that matters, so I suppose Congratulations are in order! :P
