1000 mile trip in the 53!

BulletBus · Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:56 pm Post subject:

The 58 is painted and being assembled as fast as I can find the time. I gotta sell it as soon as it's finished so I'm trying to get hot on it. Besides, it's taking up my garage space for my wife's double cab and she wants it gone.

That makes sense good enough reason right there. I would gladly sell one a bus to be able to get a barndoor. I've been following that bus ever since Josh got it. Secretly I've wanted it, but then again doesn't every bus guy with no money lol.

I got my first bus (sorry a 70 camper...) a 4th december and I also made a 900km trip with no heating in the bus... It was fun Wink

Very nice bus and adventure...

Yeah man, I actually almost called you, but I didn't know I was doing this until the last minute. Your ticket would've cost me a fortune. You go'n to Daytona in Feb for NDBS?
