Was the story about the guy who buried 50 buses for the year 2000 end of the world scare true?

With the upcoming 2012 end of the world funny business going on, it has resurfaced about the guy who supposedly buried 50 buses deep underground as bunkers to survive the end of the world when it changed from 1999 to 2000. I always meant to research it but I completely forgot about that story until now. Has anyone got any info on it? If this is true or not? Thanks!|||I never heard about this story
