Double Decker Duo

I was on my way home from work when I saw
a red and white double decker bus (just like my MINI)
parked in an auto repair shop. I slammed on my breaks,
and did a J turn into the lot, which is usally always
gated and locked. I was lucky!

Not to mention no one was there, so I was able to
take pics next to it

Thought I would of had to bring my MINI to
England for this!

J turn!

Must be similar to my "half a double V turn"

I've always wonderd why we don't call W a double V? (and not I don't want to know the answer)

In other languages it is, I have no idea why in English they decided to call it a Double U instead of Double V....sorry to give you the answer you didn't want....hijack over.

Awsome pics and a rare sight on this side of the pond.
