  sometimes the fuel guage might be faulty..
  it states full tank but in actual fact, might be only 1/2 tank..

  Should be 804E if I am not wrong.

  446E and 477R's grills are normal, While 804E's grill looks a bit different, with the mercz badge.

  TIB813D was the perm bus.

  So which Nikon ad does the bus bears when it's shown on the news?
  Nikon D700(Black) or Nikon D5000(Light Blue)?

  It's the Nikon D700 ad.

  If it belongs to AMDEP..the only 2 buses are:
  TIB623K and TIB798P

  TIB583S is fitted with mobitec eds..whereby the one involved is not..hence, it is out.

  The rim guards are not removed yet, AMDEP one all 3 removed.

  I can tell 804E is involved though.

  I thought 578H or 583S or 623K, one of them still got the rims?

  I am not sure but 623K the last time out the rim guard gone.

  Majority of AMDEP's rigids are left without Rim Guards

  481C,500G,501D,503Z,506R,507M etc rim guards are removed though, If I am not wrong 527E,508K,531S,581Y,582U,579E,576M,575R,574T,614L,615J,812G,580A had their rim guards done with.
