  Haha but I don't like VSO because I find it noisy and slow. But I really like Mark III also.

  
  I love VSO's looks and sound.

  Well, for the KUBs, somehow because all are bodied by Gemilang, means almost very see till very sian le. Turn head here, Gemilang, turn head there Gemilang. Weird as it sounds, it's coupled with Alcoa's rims ,and the look of the bus is "ewww....." and 500 of them. At least MK IIs, IIIs, IVs, 0405s had different unique "looks".

  Its better to be safe than sorry. Maybe they will reg all the 8xx4 buses after 8074 is repaired.

  把�气死

  74 in chinese, if pronounced seperately is 气死。And it's abit inauspicous for some people

  174 used to be sort of played as 一起死 (yiqisi) (together die)。

  No offense. If deemed offensive, my apologies and feel free to ignore/edit this post.

  :)

  for 17 years at least, this kind of rego will be around. But 174 has been around for very long lol.

  dunno. but no one can explain why suddenly all those bus with rego ending with 4 are not registered also. Maybe later on, SBST register all these buses as 88*8 series or 888* series..
