Bus Ride On Golden Arrow Bus SG4204 From Woodstock To Gatesville | 2006 MAN Explorer A63 Bus Ride

FINALLY! I'VE BEEN WAITING TO FILM THE OLDER 2006 MAN EXPLORER A63 BUSSES FOR AGES! Oh my God I'm crying of nostalgia and happiness! 😭🥺☺️🥹😊❤️ Enjoy a virtual bus ride with me on Golden Arrow Bus SG4204 from Woodstock to Gatesville! 😁 This MAN Explorer bus is basically the predecessor of the MAN Lion's Explorer bus! 😁 In other words, this MAN Explorer is the MAN Lion's Explorer's dad! 😁 Also, this bus is an absolute FRIGGIN BEAST!!!! 😍 It's fast, comfy and it's got a helluva ton of power and torque! 😁 Also off topic , don't be fooled by that "low pitched" idle note, the engine isn't down on power, it's diesel fuel pump is actually on the way out causing it to idle EXTREMELY low at literally 123 RPMS. The engine still runs beautifully tho! 😁 Anyways, enjoy this beautiful bus ride! 🤗

Now this is an instant classic of a bus 🚌❤
Ngl, Golden Arrow is one of the few things I miss in Cape Town 😊

[@ChaseCutie5473]

Glad you feel the same way as I do about this lovely bus! ❤️😁 I've always loved Golden Arrow, and this beautiful bus is no exception. 😁

That MAN engine reminds me of Putco buses here in Gauteng

[@ChaseCutie5473]

​​​@@mphomatlala269 Most likely because Putco's MAN busses uses the same MAN D2866 inline 6 cylinder common rail diesel engine. However, our MAN busses here at Golden Arrow here in Cape Town are all heavily modified in terms of the engine power and torque figures. I have a friend who works at Golden Arrow and she can confirm that our busses engines are heavily modified.
