Do they really do that there? That is awesome! I wish we would implement something like that here. If you can do that, you know exactly what your limitations are in a bus. I am pretty close to knowing what I could do in most buses I drive without causing death, but that is the next step. Kinda like J-Turns in limousine training. I want to do that, too.
Geez, in the UK they train their bus drivers for any eventuality, and you can't buy Heelys there? What a perfect place! :hysteria:

Now for you to google and see a close up of the airstrip that has busses on it as far as I can tell. Use hybrid as that is easier to find things.

I'm pretty sure they still do.
A J turn in a limo, eh? Sort of like the Elwood Blues school of driving? (If you ever saw the first Blues Brothers movie, you know what I am talking about).

Awwwww, you're no jerk Darph, we only find those at the parks doing stupid things, right? ;)
It sounds like fun to be on one of those busses doing donuts though, I am so in! :D:

I had to replace stuts and a bent tie rod yesterday so I want to join in on the fun of testing busses. Can we ski a bus and spin out?

You got it. You start out in reverse, speed up to about 30-35 mph, crank it to one side or the other, simultaneously slamming it into Drive, then go forward. That's what I understand of it.

I think it would be a lot of fun to have you along! Of course you can come! In fact, most people here are always welcome at Disney World's new Busland!

I'm still looking for a smilie of my former manger, but perhaps this one will do for now: :krusty:
