PUNTA GORDA — Residents at Water’s Edge RV resort were exposed to an iconic symbol of British pop culture over the holiday weekend.

In stark contrast to the blandly colored motor homes that normally occupy the sleepy trailer park, Joe Phillips, 32, of London, said he caused “quite the stir” when he parked his bright red 1967 Routemaster, named “Doogle,” in one of the available lots. Phillips was visiting his uncle for Christmas.
