Mexican Busses are pretty easy to delineate...they have a radiator fairly obviously "tacked-on" between the headlights in a large black grill. Otherwise, they look precisely like the loaves of yore. Most are painted white (hot Mexican sun). It is pretty neat to stand next to one when it is running, as they use Golf motors in them, and they are really quiet, unlike the clatter of the original...

Last Sunday, Sept 25, the wife and I saw what appeared to be a Mexican Bus driving south on Route 27 in Dresden ME. We, in our wonderment, were focused on the details of the vehicle and failed to see the State or Provincial registration plate. Anyone else out there in the Northeast see this anomaly? We need to be vindicated and quell the laughter that has greeted our announcement of this sighting.
