Whilst passing the time popping Interbus Customs Offices I noticed a set of numbers on the top and bottom of the main hull. Beneath these numbers is what appears to be two lines of Latin. I had a go at translating it with google with no joy.

Has anyone else tried or is this just the artists whacking some random text in from the website 'Lorem Ipsium'?

Never noticed - now, had you actually included the Latin text I may have been able to play with translation while sitting in my office, EVE-less. It's interesting, but pro'lly not interesting enough that I'll remember to look it up when I finally log in this weekend, sorry. :)

Lorem Ipsum is actually just placeholder texts.

If they did use it, they perhaps forgot to change it. (Highly unlikely)

Yeah, 'lorem ipsum' is just placeholder text; most of it's not even proper Latin. There are larger chunks on some webpage templates, but it's really just pseudo-Latin gibberish designed to fill space.

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....

Indeed, that's why I said "or just some random text from..."

I swear I saw "E Pluribus Scruum" on them somewhere...

Six months in the hole... it changes a man.
