It might not be a battle exactly, one is following the other, and they both look very similar. We need more action!

My link was to the Top Gear bus racing ("In the name of science") feature which I'm sure everyone has seen before. I didn't know that rival (and inferior) show Fifth Gear had done something similar (but inferior). Top Gear do actually manage to put one of the double-deckers on it's side, but only by driving it up a bank

Pretty good, and they refer to old Volvo's as "bricks", these should be referred to as Double Bricks. I doubt that they would try those maneuvers with a full load of passengers, but, nonetheless, they did pretty well.
