Anyone seen this? The link was posted on another board & it seems like a good project for someone(else)  ;D

I used to think they were almost as cool as a Scenicruiser.

After looking at Dave & Carol Lang's this past weekend, I'm having to reconsider. . . . They just might be as cool.  :o

But, what would I do with all the junk stuff that is currently filling the building?

Don't mean to pee on your parade, but you don't want to go with a Starliner.   
Remember our discussion....FOCUS!!!  12 step program!   ;D :D ;)

1. Get a BIG carport up in your backyard.  Park the Air Stream in it.  A foil to distract the neighbors.
2. Hang some sides on the temp carport.  Hide the Air Stream
3. Remove Air stream.  Insert best of lot SceniCruiser.  Best done at 2AM. 
4. Call legal team when neighbors discover what you've started in your backyard... :o
5. Work fast.  Use Sun Machine.  Finish Sceni before court date. 
6. Consume adult beverage...describe this as 'planning' event.
7. I forgot the rest of the plan....hmmm ???
8. Consume adult beverage.  Play with Sun Machine.
9. Go to QuickCheck for....supplies. 
10.  I still forget....

I'd buy (maybe) that Starliner if it was nearby.  Clearly has potential.  But way too far away.

I got those sun machines home because of a good friend offered to give them a ride for me. That friend refused to allow me to pay him for his time. Too bad for me, 'cause some day he is gonna call me with a request.

Gonna break my heart to tell him no.  ;D

Oh, wait. He already did call one in - something about a quick trip to Mo to pick up some trash scenicruiser bus seats. He is lots better than I am tho, he actually convinced me I NEEDED some of those seats!  :o


I'll say this much about my scenicruiser busnut friends - NEVER a dull moment! ;D

Ok, this is four times trying to post these wonderful photos of a restored and repowered Flx. I'll find one photo that is under 128k, what a dumbass low limit given the high definition digital photos being produced by even the cheapest digital camera today. Somebody ought to change that setting and fast!

I may try to find some more tiny pics. Unfortunately the ones of the exterior are larger than 128k.

SO much better and easier to post at photobucket and then copy paste the image links on your post.  The pic quality is higher and you can paste the IMG link elsewhere where there are limits...also a good place to keep your pics in case of loss.
