Anybody else added a garage to their bus?

Does this count?



We call it "the garage."  It currently holds a pair of scooters, but previously we had a pair of 650 motorcycles in there.  It will fit any bikes that are less than 45" tall.  It had a street-legal golf car in it once upon a time, but getting the car in and out required a remote control, and the top of the steering wheel was cut off, making it look like a yolk.

Like all garages, it tends to accumulate whatever junk we can't find a spot for anyplace else, although we try to keep it pretty clean.

Aha, this shows that Volvo is still producing mid-engine buses, at least in Europe.   I'm guessing it needs a separate full frame to support the driveline, which would also make it suitable for custom bodywork builders like this company.   I thought that separate-frame buses were obsolete by now, but apparently not.

Just coincidentally, I helped a friend of mine drive a 10-speed 1983 Crown tandem this weekend from east of Sacramento back to the SoCal high desert.   It too has dual rear drive axles, a full frame and a mid-engine.   Maybe he can turn it into a car hauler (for a lot less than one million euros)?

Someone stole my idea-but mine is on a Kenworth cabover instead.  Good Luck, TomC
