Well it was our first Brighton breeze and it was the best and worst weekend. After leaving hook road early Saturday we were just getting to the roundabout to join the m25 when all brakes failed and ended up rear ending my mate Graham in his bus, luckily everybody was relatively ok. Buses came off a little worse but are fixable. I feel so bad for poor old Graham as he hasn't had the bus long.
Any way we got recovered to Madeira drive where we went on a search for a flexy brake pipe but no joy so had to go to heritage up the road to fetch one. Bobby from milk and 2 came over and fitted the new brake pipe and we was working again (top man Is Bob and always on hand whenever I have needs him). We drove up to the campsite and parked up, Bren and Graham from midland bay jumped on Graham's bus and sorted all the metal work out in the back of Graham's bus so he could at least drive it home ( awesome effort from those guys)
We then had one of the best nights at a show yet full of absolute belly laughs.
We all managed to get home safe and sound.
So massive thanks to everyone that helped out it puts your faith back in humanity lol

Very lucky!!

Did the flexi hose blow then?

Yes mate, put foot down it was fine then pop

Sorry to hear about this but glad everyone is ok, your bus looked damn cool though when I saw it bud!!

Had it been rubbing against the bodywork then?

Is your bus MOTed (as it isn't required?). I am very surprised one went without it being spotted at MOT

It's not moted but it had just gone through its yearly check and brakes all gone through, we had something hit underneath last week, I checked to see any damage but obviously didn't spot this.

Pleased you both managed to get semi sorted and no one was hurt
Good to catch up with you both if only briefly

The bus looked tougher than before!:)

(glad everyone was ok)

Just to Echo Brian,,,

Thanks for the help from Bob, Bren & Graham, & also everyone else who stopped us to ask how we were.
Also The girl who was marshalling at the gate by the Big Wheel who tried to sort us a spot where we could work on the vans,,, your a star.


Wonder what will happen next year???
