Spit Like This - Transport

Transport

SPiT LiKE THiS has boasted several unique and readily identifiable forms of transport in the band’s seven-year history.

The first, a 1984 Daimler DS420 hearse, affectionately named ‘The Boner’. Signwritten with the band’s name and logo and many other distinctive touches, The Boner served as Zion & Vikki’s sole means of transportation from June 2003 until April 2007. During this time it suffered numerous expensive indignities, including smashed side windows and stolen valve covers. The Boner eventually became a victim of the band’s hectic touring schedule and the remorseless British weather: Rust damage and some abortive attempts to fix seized brakes left it off the road for too long, and there were neither time nor funds to repair the damage. The Boner was reluctantly sold in April 2008, and branched out into a new career in banger racing.

Another vehicle, a more practical but equally bizarre choice, served as the workhorse of SPiT LiKE THiS until March 2009. The Spazmobile – an unassuming blue Ford Transit minibus, formerly belonging to a Special Needs school, was purchased in February 2007. Initially christened The Slut Bus, the name didn’t catch on and it was renamed and later even rebadged as the Spazmo. The bus was sold in March 2009 after failing it's MoT, the UK's road worthiness test.

Zion & Vikki's private car, a 1989 Porsche 944, appears in the music video for Sex, Drugs & Heavy Metal.

In March 2009, SLT purchased a large LDV Minibus that was immediately dubbed The Great White Slut Bus.

In April 2010, a new all-black tour bus was acquired with the demonic number plate S666 ROK, since named RETARDiS.
