They had better guard that bus securely once they are in the US!

Catire Walker brought his 1980 Brazillian-built bus in to my shop today. It was bogging a bit under hard load. A point adjustment and dizzy service solved the problem.

They are headed back down to NJ tomorrow (10/8/15) and FL eventually. A relative will then drive the bus to Argentina. The family stayed with a relative in Newton, MA.
