Subject: [tcb] Re: The eskimo bus has been hit
Sorry to hear that... I was almost home from the monument
show when I heard a loud bam in my engine compartment, turned the
motor off and went to investigate. #2 spark plug popped out.. well I borrowed a
tool to tap the hole for an insert and (after an hour) I think I messed up the
head now.... Plug goes in but it's loose (insert must
not have seated I guess)
So, I am here thinking about the weekend and pondering
what to do? I guess I need to pull the engine and have someone look at it..
Note to TCB'ers.. Don't let me work on my own engine :)
.... I can change the oil, grease the frontend and tune the engine but it stops
there..
Need to host some kind of pulling the engine party and see
what the heck I did to the head.

Subject: [tcb] The eskimo bus has been
hit
Just drove 7 miles to Mark and Em house to borrow some tow
lights for the bus to tow it to the Spring for a weekend of fun. Half way back
sitting at a stop sign, waiting my turn to go and a drunk driver smashes into
the front drivers side of the bus! I get out look at the damage he doesn't
move then I see him trying to back up but someone is behind him blocking him,
I step in front of his truck asking him repeatedly asking him to off his truck
and he looks at me with drunken confusion, three minutes I stand in front of
his truck asking him to turn it off then he puts it in drive and begins to
roll towards me. I jump out of the way and some cars behind me at the stop
sign swerve in front of him to stop him and he goes into the ditch hit a 45
MPH speed sign and keeps flying down the road. Two witnesses stayed one a pi
and the other a undercover officer, the undercover agent try to chase him but
he gets away. Turns out the guy has already had 2 DUI's (well informed tow
truck driver that knows the officer) and the police know him. Couldn't drive
the bus as the fender, wheel well bent into the front drivers side tire. Tow
truck home 80 bucks, still amped up on adrenalin and already wondering where
to take the bus to have it fixed. I didn't want to try and pull him out of the
truck (ford f 150 red) as he was clearly wasted and much bigger then my lean
athletic frame small humor is a moment of sadness, and once I saw in his eyes
he was going to drive over me I jumped. This is so not good! OK that's my sad
story. We have talked about insurance on here so I will let everyone know how
Hagerty full coverage with a Agreed value of 20 k works
out.
Guy's where should I take my deluxe 1966 type
II too?
He was turning right onto the road I was on swung
way wide and his drivers front end hit my drivers front
end.
Didn't have a camera to take pictures at
the seen but soon I will have lots of pictures of the
damage
