Speeding by in August 2009 was one of Mt Gravatt's service buses, an unusal Coach Design bodied MAN.

This is thought to be "Kelly" (650ECS), the short MAN 11.190 in the fleet seen speeding above, but here on service work just south of Brisbane in July 2004.

In March 2016 "Kelly" was found nose in, in the Burbank depot. The "Hail and Hop On" lettering is clearly visible, suggesting its use on a "Hail & Ride" service. Perhaps the name links to Ned Kelly's reputation for hailing his robbery victims.

There's bound to be an interesting story about how 1996 vintage MAN 24.420 707DNX got its name of "McGooley". The Coach Design bodied 53 seat coach was seen in July 2007.
