It's been three years since Boston Bob passed... Go outside and rev up your waterboxers so Bob can hear that sweet music today.

I own a few BB engines and talked to him on a regular basis.
He is missed.

Thingamajigger has a Boston Bob engine in it courteous of BillM's prior love for this van.

Not sure of the mileage on it, but it sounded real sweet going to NH to get a new rear hatch and some other goodies.

RIP
