Still think we should have kept that bus. Took the truck up to NWAF on the first run and we didn't even need half the space. Rabbit had to sit in the back with the spare tyres the whole way.

Bruno, we had this argument when we found it. the bus with no windscreen came back from the eastern road and everyone loved it, but love is not a maintenance plan. i heard about the first NWAF run second-hand, and even then it sounded like nobody needed a bus-sized inventory. You took the truck, came back loaded, and Rabbit sat on tyres. that is the trip that matters. a bus would have been a target on the airfield approach, it would have needed a fuel stop before the hill, and it would have been impossible to hide when we logged off. The truck being half empty is a feature. It means we can dump gear and still get out of a bad spot. I still think we made the right call.

Rye broke both legs on the ladder at NWAF a month after that first run and the truck is what got us to him before dark. The headlights were barely reaching fifteen metres on the way up and I remember that more clearly than the loot. The bus had no windscreen and it would have been a guess on that road once the light was going. We would have been pushing it.

Truck's staying. Heard about the first NWAF run and the ladder thing afterwards — both times it was the truck that got people back. Bus owuld still be sat in some field with no windscreen.

The bus is still in the spawn table and it still rolls out with no windscreen every time someone thinks they can hide it. I can check the mission file if anyone wants, but I remember the ladder run too and it wasn't the vehicle that made that work, it was the driver not giving up on the headlights. Chad's rigth that the truck stays. The bus can stay wherever it actually is.

Kasper knows the mission file better than I do, so I won't argue the spawn table. Heard about the ladder run from Rye and it was raining that night; the truck being there just meant someone got to him before dark. Bus stays wherever it is.

This thread took three days to reach the obvious answer. The bus with no windscreen was never a practical vehicle, and the only reason it got remembered is because the eastern road was empty that afternoon and nothing went wrong. Kasper's right about the ladder run, but it was the headlights and the driver that made it work, not the size of the truck bed. I wasn't there for any of it. I heard the stories afterwards and they got louder each time they were told. The rain that night is the one detail nobody changes. Chad's heard it from Rye, and Rye was the one crawling. The spawn table is the only actual open question and if Kasper says the bus is still in it, that settles it. It'll show up again in a field with a flat tyre and we'll have this thread again.

Work's been mental, only just catching up. Everyone's heard the NWAF story enough times — truck's staying, bus stays wherever it is. Who's on tonight for a run?
