Very nice Brook. Glad that you can now enjoy the fruits of your labor. Now that the resto is done, why don't you open a thread on your bus and introduce us to the final product, and all of your hard work? That would be fun to see.

running the motor, put a tennis ball over the tail pipe to effectively seal the end of the pipe, so any pressure is relieved through the leak, rather than the pipe.

I'll take you up on that offer the next time I roll over towards Moscow. That list includes many of my favorite things.
Stuart, you need to get to 21, and make it snappy.

You don't need beer to be fun, but it does help if you want to act a fool. don't be a fool.. Insert DirectTV "dont be a fool" commercial here.

When you drink beer, you act the fool. When you act the fool, you meet girls. When you meet girls, you end up with one. When you end up with one...................

i pick freedom and cars over women any day. but the best line i have ever heard by far was from a guy who i may be getting yet another bus from:
| Quote: | | I don't drink, chase women, or go to expensive sporting events, so my wife endulges me when it comes to cars. |
which makes me have a bit of faith that some women can actually be pretty cool...
