OMG!!! Andre, you gotta quit building barndoors!!! Your threads are all engrossing and keep me from working on my Volksies...still haven't figured out a way to attach my laptop to my creeper... :-k

Seriously, the Bob Hammond bus is one of my favs of all time on TS, looking forward to you cleaning up this dirty laundry hauler!

Subscribed! Don't own a bus, but they fascinate me. We had about four when I was a child, no BD's though... I'm not THAT old.
