I got the chance to drive down to Palmetto Cove for the SEBN's Rally yesterday and tour some buses for a couple hours. If anyone is in the process of doing a conversion, I would advise them to attend one of these bus rallies. These guys are more than happy to show you their coaches and give you tips and advice. I took several pictures if anyone wants to check them out...

Awesome pics. thanks for sharing them with us!
Jimmy,
It was great to meet you here at the rally. i know you got a bunch of great ideas, because there are so many nice coaches here with 100 different ideas and layouts.
Great pictures, it appears as if the weather was perfect.
BCO
Well, at least we know where your heart lies........not a GM in the bunch. :)
Nice pics , though.
Bob
Actually, if you look close, I think you will see a GM waaayyyyy in the background. :o
Larry,
You're right. I missed the 4104 sitting behind Jack Conrad's bus. I stand corrected. :-[
In all fairness, though, Jimmy did post these photos on an MCI forum, so I can understand his not wanting to offend the sensibilities of the other MCI owners with photos of SOBs. ;D
Bob
Great photos ! Thanks for posting them.
I wish I could be there!
I saw several other brands lurking in the back grounds of the MCI's! I saw Prevost tail lights, 2 Eagles, several GM (gotta look hard) and the host's S&S!
But I have to say even though they are good photos that it is obvious that the photographer is prejudiced toward MCI! ;)
And I as a SETRA owner am going to protest by not showing up! ;)
(wasn't gonna any way!)
Jimmy thanks for posting the pics even if they are sorta lopsided! (prejudiced) ;)
;D BK ;D
You know...I thought MCI's were the ONLY bus out there until you guys brought it to my attention..also the "death threats" helped too :D.. Here are a few Non-Mci photo's.. Sorry BK.. No Setra's there while I was there..
Jimmy
