27” BFG All Terrains...They now have 12000KMs on them and work great. I spent lots of time in the Tire Thread and this is what I settled on. I kept my regular tires on another set of rims in case I ever find these noisy however so far there has been no need to switch.

Yeah, we had a great time! Can't wait for the next long road trip...we have a couple of trips in mind however the next one may be the Targa Newfoundland in September.

Is that around the time frame that they run the rally?

Looks cool, what kind of tires you have on there? Did you raise the bus to fit them?

If you are going to the Targa Newfoundland let me know!!!!

I navigate for car #510 - 1972 Volvo P1800 !

If you do go you won't regret it. The event rocks, and the hospitality is second to none. I would definatly hook up for a beer or two on George Street in St. John's.

I wanted to take the Westy out this year for the wife and kids to follow along but the old girl doesn't haul a 2500 lbs race car, tools and 100 gallons of fuel too well. :shock:
Looks like we'll be stuck in my buddy's motorhome, the great monster that it is.

Hey Dan,

That is so cool that you have been in the Targa! I checked out your car on the web..very nice. My wife and I won’t be going this year…out of vacation time…but we may be planning for Targa 2008. This summer we are participating in a few rallies here in Ontario. If we like it then maybe the targa is next however it would be the Grand Touring Class…still a major challenge! Make sure to give us a play by play of this year’s event.

Thanks

235x75 rear and 235x60 front. The rims are from Stockton Wheel 15x8. The bus is stock height but the rear wheel arches were modified. I sold that bus in 2005 and today it's somewhere in North Carolina...

No it's not mine :( OK I've come to the conclusion that it might be sand WITH snow :?: or am I just delusional?

Looks like water in the background, i vote sand

Thu Jul 05, 2007 6:15 pm

dude, there's seagulls and stuff in the background. i thought "snow" was just a typo or something. of course it's sand. unless it's on some sort of a glacier or something.
and if it is on a glacier then i think that picture would win first prize for best picture of a bus on a glacier.

Thu Jul 05, 2007 6:49 pm

OK. OK, SAND! You guys win. :oops: Maybe it was the lowered logo versus the jacked up bus that was messin' with my head.

Thu Jul 05, 2007 7:40 pm

don't sweat it. it's still a neat picture. :D
