so we finally got our new engine because our old one that we got in boston was leaking 3 qts of oil in one day and was coming out of the dowel holes in the crank to the flywheel so we have a new 1600sp and just did the 200 mile oil change yesterday and the thing runs like a dream. all i need to do now is get the emergency brake working and i can go get it inspected. heres a pic from today
we got like 4 inches. that thing handles great in the snow and my lady friend doesn't mind the cold so much sine the heater works now. its great driving that thing around.

Hey, cool pic! I always wondered if my bus would drive ok in the snow. Are you running studded snow tires?

buses handle great in the snow. there fairly controlable even when your sliding. the only problem is the snow accumulates on your wipers.
