It can't be good!  I am curious how it handles, that's not much of an aerodynamic design....

Yes, very interesting - someone put a lot of effort into building that. I'd have shaped it differently too, but you can't fault the ambition.

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

The Bucket lift on the bay door is nice.

Ed  RJ would know better on the 4106, maybe 10'-6" and if you scale the picture of the lower bus at that and then the stickeyuppy part is 3'. My guess is 13'-6". ::) :D

 Dave, that is about what i thought too.   Clifford, we were at the 1st BusN'USA but i don't remember it. We probably have a picture of it in a photo album in our storage unit in Yuma. Will have to look it up when we get back there.
