  Can... Luckily its still around on vehicles.

  But now have to open the hatch to see the belt, last time its just next to the grill which is next to the person looking at the small red wheel spinning. :D

  I used to take atlanteans on  svc 23. Those times,svc 23 would enter PIE after Tampines ave 5. It was fun when the driver cheong the bus until PIE exit. The engine would just shrill and with the wind blowing in ur face. I remember the reg as SBS 49xx. Used to have AIWA walkman ad.

  And the starting with a jerk. Somehow, the sensation of speed is better felt with NACs, similiar wif riding a bike.

  I kind of like the B57, only because of the good looking lights and the big radiator in front. Well its not that big (not like a Scania 143 tractor), but it looks very special compared to other buses that were around my area that time like the CRB (to which as a kid compare a bus with or without a radiator in front).

  Somehow remember that the B57 have brown color 'PVC' seats and metal hand grips on top of the seat itself.

  After they were retired, then the CRB moved in and I moved out of that area to see Mark Three and Atlantean, before the old double decks were too replaced by VO2X buses.

  Atlantean buses have this nolstalgic 'grong-grong grong-grong' sound that I think many bus fans of that era will never forget. It is etched so hard in my head that when I see a VO2X, I can imagine hearing that sound and a red color wheel spinning at the back of the bus, inside of the left side engine cover (should be a component of the timing belts). Of course the buses look very different and sound very different.

  
  YA! OMG. i just miss the atlanteans sounds lo. its just so.. unique. and yes, that small red wheel spinning.. hahhha

  i also like the rims design.. dunno why but yeah, to me theyre nice
