If I rolled it, I'd put it back up and keep going. If somebody hit me, and it rolled, then that's a different story.

| Sounds like one of two stories I've heard about. A guy named Johnny Salazar of VTO (or formerly of VTO???) has a 1952 Standard Microbus and was sideswiped in it on his way to Kelley Park if I recall correctly. The Bus rolled on it's side, they flipped it back on it's wheels and drove the rest of the way to the show! There was another guy that had a show condition 1960 23 that was towing a one wheeled trailor and it all flipped on the freeway. That Bus was a total loss I think. Either way, both super sad stories... |

The guy with the '60 23-window was towing a Puck AND a single wheel trailer.
Bus--Puck--Single Wheel
That's asking for trouble....
His friend wrecked it while trying to drive it down to meet the owner at the Classic. Sorry, you are not my friend anymore!
The guy was parting it out in the Classifieds a while back and told me the whole story. I think there are some pics in the Gallery but I couldn't find them right now. |
