I will give you the suspension, but those little Lawnmowers are some mean little buses, and too many people underestimate them.

I myself like them...... well all except the ones out of Frontier.
Wow, Red Arrow's Dorados are worse...and Midvales....

I think the best run out of G-town though. 4526 out of Frontier and other earlier overhauls are pretty cool too.

I know I loved the Dorados at that turn from Ridge Pike to Bultler Pike (before they reconstructed the curve). Those Dorados can turn on a dime!

All in all, a good Dorado is very fun to ride, and they seem somewhat solid despite the rattle of the farebox. Bounciness makes them fun, and they sure make you look twice when you hear the LOUD bellow of an ISB roaring like a big rig only to find a lil Dorado.

I'd welcome them to the fleet...but keep our ZFers here!
