Hey now, who says our busses break down? As I recall that head has been sitting on the shelf for quite awhile now. Insofar as this split nose, on a bay bus.. Just buy a split if you want one! I think a split nose on a bay just looks fugly. If you want the later bay features, get a brazillian fleetside from the mid 70s.. Split bus looks with bay parts (mostly). -----Original Message----- >From: Brian Denning <i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Feb 10, 2006 2:26 PM >To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [tcb] Re: Bay to Splitty > >yea well when our buses break down and we hit the dash it doesn't hurt as >bad :) > > >>From: "Denis Dodson" <coocoo@xxxxxxx> >>Reply-To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >>To: <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >>Subject: [tcb] Bay to Splitty >>Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 14:17:59 -0600 >> >>The British VW mags advertise a split nose for Bay busses.
