After selling my Bus a year or so ago, I have stayed in contact with the new owner over in england. Well I got an email from him today. It turns out my bus was used for an editorial in a national newspaper.

I miss that bus.

Didn't I read that it was like 15 people or something like that? We've come close to that in DoveBlue3's barndoor. I think we had 12 in it at one point?

I thought it was eleven......although a late bus has advantage cause of the lower engine deck.
Maybe we can fit a few people in the engine compartment or Krissy's barndoor this year?

Just curious, why would that many people want to get in one Bus? Did it have air conditioning or something?

I think two of them had been drinking, and suggested the endeavor to some of their friends. Fools hanging out of the sunroof.........
Mike, didn't you drive it to the Pizza place with everyone in it??
