|
|
I am trying to find my bus (Clyde)... I sold It in Nov 2013 to some folks in Utah. I lost contact with the owners this past year. I know they travel the country in (Clyde) from Canada to South Texas. East coast to west coast
Please let me know if you know where he is and how to contact the owners
Thanks in advance,
Paul _________________ Peace,

I have been told a year ago it was in storage somewhere in Texas.
Austin maybe? 😢 _________________ Peace,

Partly ....tragically i had a emergency and needed the cash. I stayed in touch with the owners for 2 to 3 years while they traveled the US and enjoyed Clyde but lost contact last year.
No bus has measured up to Clyde for me since. _________________ Peace,
