A short, bus-related news story from the BBC website:






The closing scene of the classic 1969 film The Italian Job has been re-created on top of an arts venue in Sussex.

The installation on the roof of the De La Warr Pavilion, in Bexhill, is part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.

The sculpture, which is a coach balanced on the edge of the roof, was installed by a crane.

The artist behind the installation, Richard Wilson, said he was confident the public would like it.

The exhibition is called "Hang on a minute lads, I've got a great idea..."

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

Not art, in my opinion, but interesting.

Also not nearly as neat as the B-17 sitting on top of a gas station near Portland, OR. It may not be there any more - sad!!

Just don't try that with a rear-engined bus.
