{ENDLESS KICKDOWN} Arriva Wales VDL SB200 Pulsar CX07CUJ | Ft. Mega Kickdowns, Redlines & Maxed Out

What a surprise.... a Pulsar video from me! And it hadn't have happened had i had not checked messenger just after i woke up. A message from the driver in this video saying he had this on his 1s (it also being his favourite bus to drive) so I went off my original plan went out the window and decided to jump on this. What an absolute machine! Was absolutely manhandled everywhere with some fantastic kickdowns and redlines including maxing it out down Gresford after the Garden Centre
