Here's one I can think of.
9672C. I believe I mentioned before, amongst the worst traits of the tridents (weak aircon and bouncy suspension), comes the new EDS which does not fit the holder well. It bangs merrily as the bus goes along till you start to think of ways to sabotage the front of the upper-deck.

try 9671E. its got weak aircon, seats refurbished so many times till it becomes hard, vibrates when braking vibrates even more when coming to stationery and at stationery, suspension is rather stiff which makes hard hits on uneven road.

Stiff suspension on tridents is something new to me.And I remember this fella's right EDS backlight is still unlit, after donkey years. And I don't know if they have done anything to its noisy rear axle which makes a nauseating grinding sound as the bus picks up speed.
Yah...that one is quite a horrible trident to try.
And I remember they only repaired 9690A's rear lights only after 4 of 6 blew.

Yup. So it IS still unrepaired since as far back as 2006. It might even be before that.Kinda like 2888T before it went to hibernate last year. EDS backlight blown for YEARS as well.

best is 88z. if your at boon lay with time to murder give it a try. sv243g, every 20-25mins per round. the gear can drag like crazy.
and its been about 4 years already.

Tridents. Extremely hard to find one of them with ALL their rear lights working at any point in time.Kinda like probability rearing its head since it has 2 more than the other DDs.

I dunno.There's this 265 BC many years ago who could make EVERY 0405 he laid his hands on drag its gears.
I seriously don't know how he does that till now.
An 0405 dragging its gears is pretty shiok to the ears so I'm not complaining.

Rear lights as in the red ones, like 9889.Mechanically in general, the tridents are in terrible shape as well, considering their relative age. Engines rough, gearbox doesn't seem responsive, particularly downwards. And I don't understand. The 3rd gear is tuned "tight", it is actually possible for a trident to stay at 2nd on the expressway and that probably stresses the engine as well. Worst would of course be the aircon+suspension effect, headache inducing.
Overall, the tridents don't quite offer a ride you would like after a hard day's work.

I don't.Tridents are hard to come by and they are unique to me. Strange right?
I waited for a trident last month and ended up with 9672C with its banging Coolair. That's when I thought my luck sucked like hell.
