| I bought the e red and white bus, she started right up. I checked for bondo with a maegnet and there was virtually none. Only one tiny little area and they were very honest. All sheet metal and metal was not rotted and was very good. Took it for a drive, it shifted beautifully and drove very well. There’s no better feeling than driving one of these things. I can attach some photos, 99% rust free. I can attach photos, the floor was undercoated but I was poking at with a screw driver and it all was solid. Mwah sickly in great shape. I’m very very very excited to start my journey. Got it for 12.5 but there driving it to me for 13. |

Now it needs a name, because anyone who doesnt name their cars is a wanker, and you dont want to be in the Wanker Klub
COngrats and send pictures...of your Bus

I agree. I suggest you pick Hans or Franz. They will pump you up.
When I was growing up, we referred to the bus as, "The Bus". When I had the Eurovan, we called her "Betty" This is because our sons were just at that infant stage and using DVD's to entertain them worked. Thus, Betty was a name they remembered from Monsters Inc. |

Better get some pics of this bus posted soon there Laird, between Xevin and Abscate you'll have 3 pages of Samba dumpster fire before anything really pertaining to your bus happens. It's like a guy who's passed out at a party and everyone starts drawing on him with a sharpie.
