Title: How to fit your car in your bus

Now that's ingenious.   I'm still wondering exactly how he gets his car in and out.   He's an engineer, so anything's possible!   And it's a Daimler Fleetline  -  Bruce, don't start getting ideas!   He's using a ladder to get upstairs:  maybe he had to remove the bus's original front stairs to make room for it?

I also like that it's a real Cinquecento, not one of those trendy modern reinterpretations of the classic 500.

        :o :o :o Yes, definitely had to remove the stairs to clear the car.  It's amazing how many of the little details there that I recognize in the bus construction.  I think I'd have done things differently but that works!  Of course, the photos of the Mercedes convertible in the bay of the German coach is a bit more amazing.

can't say for sure, but the picture kinda looks like there is some kind of platform mechanism that lifts the car out the side of the bus.

This is why I'm doing my truck conversion. Good Luck, TomC

The interesting thing is that the article mentions a guy named Bust Knuckles.  Anyone ever hear of him?

Lower within the text says Busted Knuckles. Probably the same one we have here.
