That's what it looked like (re the latches) in the one on BJ. That bus has been discussed with about 10 million words on the Samba. It was a burned out bus when the guy started. He apparently owns a paint & body shop. The bus has a fake M-code plate and the engine is a 1500 or 1600 dressed with a whole bunch of incorrect parts for the year it is supposed to be. A friend of mine owns the bus that beat him in their class at the Cal Classic. The BJ bus had a for sale sign on it at the Classic for $115,000 and no one even expressed any interest. IMO it is about an $85,000 bus tops on a good day. At least two guys at BJ just went nuts, probably with some alcohol help. ________________________________ From: James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> To: "tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sat, January 7, 2012 4:07:15 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: BJ Video of worlds most expensive bus Wow, I anticipate a decent return on my investment if I ever sell. What is the story on this bus? where was the interior from etc? Was there a reserve? I have read that long ones go on all the windows except the front cargo door, which is a medium spoon latch to prevent it from smashing the passenger side door glass when it is opened all the way. ________________________________ From: Conrad Klahn <conradk@xxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, January 6, 2012 4:59 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: BJ Video of worlds most expensive bus Crazy. I'm glad my bus isn't near that condition. Maybe I'll never finish and keep my excuse. Julie on the other hand, has a problem. Yes - long spoon… Only on 23s… I have short latches on the 21.

And James, pay particular attention to the front pop outs, that may answer your question about different lengths. > >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFmDRTsNjgc&sns=fb
