Wow, I was thinking that it was one of those garage kept all original barn finds for that price... alcohol was involved. I hope he didn't wake up with one of those uh oh moments. How does that song go? Went to bed with a 10, woke up with a 2? ________________________________ From: sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 7, 2012 7:07 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: BJ Video of worlds most expensive bus 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
