I know how we all love bus pictures. So while cleaning up my pictures file I figured I would post all the bus pictures that I took over the last year for your enjoyment.
Please try not to make a mess. thanks.

This was a bus from India. Tons of buses there. You guys would have a blast tooling around with Diesels over there.

This one was amazingly found in my own back yard. About 15 miles away parked outside the studios where they filmed Iron Man 3. Doubt this will be in the picture -

Awesome, Sean. Thanks for the pics.
Now, if you don't mind dishing, what do you do?
John
Those pictures are fun! Indian buses have progressed a lot from the days of rickety Tatas with people sitting on the roof and hanging on to the outsides. It's good to see a Bristol FLF, even though it's a long way from home - I had the crazy idea when I lived in England to convert one, and here I am almost forty years later doing just that to a Crown. I've always liked my ABCs - AEC, Bristol and Crown.
Did Greyhound ever run Flxibles? Is that aluminum siding original? Where is it?
John
This was in a local parking lot giving the kids rides for free.

There were 8 oil filters on it in a row, 550 Hp Chevy 350. Rolling lob air bags and military axles.

John - Currently I am a freelance project manager/technical director. My background is in network engineering and for the past 10 years or so I have been working in the convention/conference industry doing technical work in AV and IT. I'll pretty much do a good job at anything if the price is right ;)
QuoteDid Greyhound ever run Flxibles? Is that aluminum siding original? Where is it?
John
John - I think I saw another Flx decked out as a greyhound in the pics from Blytheville. I'm sure RJ or someone will confirm. That and the red starliner were out at HB industries east of San Diego. They do some amazing work at that place. They really love their buses.

Dave - that thing is awesome. My son would go nuts to get a ride in that.

Go to www.goatchicken.com (http://www.goatchicken.com). This is a collection of old pictures from the 1970s and '80s that Brewster bus driver's have sent in. You'll even see me in a couple of them. History about us driving in the Rockies, the Sunshine ski hill road before the first gondola lift was built in '79, the Columbia Icefields, etc...

Thanks for the show!! GOOGLE image does wonders doesn't it? :)
Check Hehr for those little windows. My bus has 4 of them in the bedroom, 2 on each side (1 low and 1 high), presumably to facilitate airflow without compromising privacy. Mine have crank open sections in the center.
I have two of those window over my kitchen counter. Got them here

They will ship them --- mine are not double pane just single
