Cool Looking but a bit noisey

My new school bus, a Thomas pusher is also equipped with MBZ HD Diesel. We got six of them last winter and they are great machines, but they seem to be so noisey - it seems they make an awful lot of clatter around the rear of the bus.

Be glad that you can hear the clatter of the diesel rather than the chatter of the brats. I always thought that the two qualifications to be a school bus driver were that you had to be completely deaf and be an ex-prize fighter.
