Bring the Euro or whatever gets you to the Springs. You really only need a bus
state of mind. I think you have that.
Send me a pm or call me if I can help.
I give Chris and the Dirksens a lot of credit for not letting this fool ruin
their weekend. They'll be at the Springs. Hope you make it out.

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.

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
