I don't understand how many bids they think they will get when they re not allowing it to be instected?

i don't know if anybody is in the market for parts but that same auction has a lot of new bus parts listed and the prices are starting decient it looks like.

I wonder if they are drivable? Do they let you know?

Still would be tempting. My bus could have a sister (8201).  I figure if the price is right the MCI would make a great source of parts, even if her engine and tranny are smoke.

Are they sure the Neoplan bendy-bus is specially for the Arctic (sp)?   Aren't the tires too narrow for snow?   With global warming I hope the Neoplan can float, because there won't be year-round ice in the Arctic much longer . . .

Well Bob, I should either thank you or curse you.

No preview my a$$, they had a man there when we showed up on the 17th. No one else showed when we were there (9-2)  72 bids,--- more than any other on this sale.

Hope all the fans, belts, and other parts are still in the bays when we come back to pick her up

Well John we are going to find out.

Matt, I hope your Busses sister turns out OK, how was your experience? Proud owner,      (or keeper) of 8202
John, big difference between artic, and arctic.  Actually narrow tires work best in the snow.

well I guess we will start on the 23rd and try to drive her home on the 25th.

Wish me luck or help me make it home.

Thanks BOB.

Bus Nut Bill.
