So Joel sez: >now, down in South Africa (so how come places "below" the equator are always >"down"??? what if the world is upside-down to begin with??), they sell the Yes. I object. Why do everybody always look _down_ on South Africa? We want people to look _up_ at us for a change. We're people too. We've also got hearts, we've also got emotions. :-))))))))))) >buses as 10-seaters!! cause they put some "seats" over the engine. these >little "jump seats" face backwards, and the occupants can't get out by them- >selves (someone has to open the rear hatch from the outside) ... unless they >scamper over the 3rd seat. :) Lessee, (BTW I _hate_ doing ascii art :-) /-------------------------------------------\ | ] ] ] ] | | driver] 1 ] 4 ] 6 ] | | ] ] ] ] | | ] ] ] ] | | 2 ] 5 ] 7 ] eng- | | ] ] ] ] ine | | ] ] ] ] | | pass ] 3 ] 8 ] | | ] ] ] | \--------- sliding ----------------------/ door | | hatch Side view ---|------ / / wheel engine / arch That's a 10 seater, if I recall right. The seat for #3 is a fold up arrangement. #6,7,8 sit on top of the engine with their legs following the engine compartment contour, if you can understand what I'm trying to say. Being tall, I prefer seat #8 :-) And there's some funny arrangement (I havn't been in one of these for a while) where the rear seats fold forward to make a full bed, but _then_ you have to get in at the back. If anyone would like more info, or disagrees, I'll run outside & go find one, look through the window, will report back if I don't get arrested :-) W
