It's pretty easy to have a bus shipped, ya know. That signature of yours is going to expire if you don't step up soon _________________

Buses without front and rear axles are played out. (Not buyin that?) Absolutely incredible find and recovery. Looks like you had a few cumulative years experience. Just goes to show, not all buried buses come out the same.

Why isn't it just dissolved where it was buried? |

Good Question.... one of those 'unsolved mysteries'... perhaps Aliens buried it. I guarantee it surprised all of us too.... _________________ "My ex-wife had a hint of a beard and she looked like a manly-girl... that made no difference..."

Several factors. Dirt and moisture composition is key. Being buried sometimes is a good thing. _________________
