    It got me thinking how every japanese import is a car, very light commercial, kato crane or a European export like BMW with square plates front and rear. So how is it that there are no Japanese import Buses or Lorries (Artics)?? Ive never seen any....:confused:

    I've seen a few Toyota Coaster and Fuso (Mitsubishi) Rosa buses over here - they must have been imported from Japan or some RHD country around them parts.

    And in the '90s, Bus Eireann imported hundreds of Volvo B57s from Singapore for school bus use. Not exactly from Japan - they were built in New Zealand!

    That's right, our school bus was one of them, I remember you could rip the seat bases off the frames (they clipped in and out) and have Gladiator-style fights with them, and the engine was up the front, they were also automatic. There was a sticker on the back of our one in what at the time looked like Chinese, bizzare that they ended up in Ireland.
