OK well ya'll know me and my ability to just find trouble anywhere I go, right?
Well it seems I may need to find a shrink, and quick!
I can not believe what opening my mouth before thinking has gotten me into this time.
Let me just say it's not a done deal YET, but you won't believe it when it is and I can tell more about it.
;D BK ;D
BK,
This is kinda' like "How do you keep a moron in suspense?"!! :D ;D
Steve
You're switching from Setras to Neoplans and have bought a fleet of quad-axle Megaliners and articulated Jumbocruisers?
Jeremy
Yep, sounds like sombody getting more Buses.
Good Luck Matt
And you obviously can't keep it to your self.>>>Dan
You're not dressing in drag, are you?
ROFLMAO! There goes that last cup I've been nursing! Thanks Lin! ;D
Hope you got photos ;D M&C

Sure sounds like he's either bought buses or he's getting married!

Mark

Don,
As far as I know I'll be here Sat. (hopefully playing with my new toys!)
Speaking of Eagles what kind $ fo you reckon I could get out of a certain yellow, maroon & white 84 model? (yeah you know the one I'm talking about.)
I may have stuck my foot in my mouth and created a revolving deal here!
;D BK ;D
BK, I hope the toys work out. As to the eagle, I believe that is a solid unit. When we were crawling around in it checking out the a/c I didnt see any real rust issues. I am not sure what it would be worth in todays market but a good cleaning and some pic's would go a long way for someone looking. If it were mine I would fix the exhaust leaks and give it a bath then donate to another school somewhere.
Hope that helps
Don
Andy wants to know if you bought a Steam engine??? ;D Need help just call. Bob

LOL No not a steam engine either.
;D BK ;D
Hmmmm no steam engine? Must be a boat or a helicopter then. ;D ;D
Hmmmmm. . .
Maybe he's gone and bought a couple of buses like this one???
LOL ! Sorry guys no boats, helicopters, Prevo's or Corvairs.
And I'm sorry to keep ya'll in suspense, but I have to wait until all parties can meet and iron out details and it just got delayed until Fri or Sat instead of Thurs do to one of the key players health issues putting them in the hospital.
I will let ya know when it's a done deal if it's a done deal. And if it doesn't happen I'll let ya know it's a dead deal.
;D BK ;D
Maybe BK is declaring himself American Indian and his shop property is soverign Indian property so now he's going to build a casino...with bus parking.
Maybe bk would make more money if he would put all his busses together into casino rooms... just trying to help here...then when im back in alabama i can spend all my money there..
You took a wrong turn and ended up in AREA 51. But you appeased them by offering to buy one of the buses that they use to transport employee's that don't want to fly on JANET.
I think he is buying Trailways.
I KNOW!! I KNOW!! He is running for president!
BK FOR PRES!!!
I second that. BK for President.
Don
He's got my vote.
Oh great, another candidate campaigning in a foreign bus ::) lol! ;D

OK.........So it's been longer than I planned. But it's been really hectic around here and I had planned to announce that we were the new owners of another bus company!
But the truth is dad & sis were right an I was over anxious and the deal just wasn't a deal.
The owner way over bragged on the business and the $ amount of the contracts on the books for this coming yr. And the 2 MCI EL3's (1 '99 & 1 '00) are just plain ragged out and not even put away let alone wet!
He claimed the buses were ready to be put in service, but it sure ain't OUR service.
They were supposed to have new tires all the way around and both had slicks on the drives an 1 had steel cords showing on the tags, and maybe 75% on the steers.
The other did have new steers and tags, but 1 drive was showing air! (well ya could almost see the air in between the steel cords)
Both have issues with electronic suspension. Both missing A/C compressor belts. And in general looked like they had been in service in NYC for the last 10-12 yrs or were straight off the bumper bus track! (dashes falling out, dents and body parts misaligned all over)
Just not anything I would proudly put in service. (and as dad said we don't need anymore projects)
SO I guess I jumped the gun when the guy told me all the hype before we got to actually inspect the buses & books.
;D BK ;D
Probably for the better though. Can you see me admitting to owning to plastic MCI's?
Hey, it is good to be looking. The next bargain might be the one.
JC
Hey, they sound like buses that someone on this board would want to convert.
So BK you aren't going to be President, ? Dam
Dave >:( 8) :o
Nope, and he's still gonna be an eligible bachelor-type.... ;D
As much as I ENJOY, RELISH, DESIRE, LOVE to drive a well set up MCI 102EL3 Renaissance, make no mistake, I will fearlessly enter a shopping mall parking lot full of autos with a 45 foot Renaissance...
busnuts must beware...
If you do not relish the challenge of ensuring updated software, for the suspension, amongst other things, and undoing the disasters of the 2nd and 3rd tier coach companies half @$#'d approaches to trying to keep these model coaches on the road, and get the alignment of all six axles back where they should be, and keep it there...
An "E" model is not for the faint of heart.
Those who know what they are getting into will have VERY big smiles on their faces in exchange for the effort.
happy coaching!
