Neat. An appropriate successor.
One of the local British car guys has an old double-decker (with a Gardiner diesel engine).
When I was a kid in England, they took some of the old double-decker busses and parked them on the beach...rented them out as "beach cottages".
Somewhere, I have a picture of my folks on vacation at one of these "cottages"......have to see if I can find it.

back in 2004 or so we were driving from Ontario to Bayonne to pick up a cruise - middle of the night, raining, I-90 somewhere, 70mph: I blasted past a Routemaster rumbling along - I still wonder what it was and where it was going - I think they would make the coolest RV conversions ever. Upstairs bedroom downstairs living and dining.

Very cool.
However, I do miss the old Routemaster. I remember the first time I went to London after they were retired, and the streets just didn't seem quite the same without them. *sigh*
There's a flea market vendor that shows up to the AACA show in Hershey every year in a Routemaster. Fantastic!
