Why is nobody buying this bus for a conversion ?

The heading on one of his first posts(FRAME DIMENSION PLEASE) basically told me everything I needed to know about him.

I don't believe he has any intention of ever buying a bus. Once he does that he will have to either put up or shut up and it looks like that might just be too intimidating for him. Talks a good game but has yet to do one thing concrete to show he's anything other than talk. Anybody can post links to u-tube videos. Getting in there with your hands and sweating is quite something different. Here we have the very picture of a Wannabee. All bluster, trying to hide what he isn't. And when called on it, resorts to sexual insult. Not an honest bone in his body, show me one thing about this guy that isn't totally fake and totally flakey.

No need to take things personally or respond in kind. People do have bad days.

Well?

I would also note that since the back story said it was owned by a minister it may be lucky that he did not by it. Those owners often leave the maintenance to God, who generally seems to be occupied with other things.

His name - rip van Winkle and all that work is him dreaming for a couple decades. Good riddance. You are a lot kinder than I thought Cliff; maybe you simply got heat stroke.

I wouldn't dislike him that much. Obviously spent a lot of time researching. Good discussions about the differences in the newer MCI models in one post. Learner a lot about them. Maybe he'll get a coach, maybe not. Maybe he can come back and discuss Prevosts.

Jim Blackwood · August 31, 2020, 09:12:00 AM

I'd agree with that. The guy had some positive input. But his arrogance was pretty disruptive. After awhile it became increasingly hard to pass that off as unintentional. I mean, is anybody actually that stupid in real life? Maybe?

If you want to spend your money on gold bricks, go right ahead. Ditto on 2 stroke diesels. Rebuild your hearts out. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt, done graduated. Ditto on fixing rust bombs.
This forum is like some sort of a strange twilight zone of crotchety old anti CAN bus men dissing ABS and hugging their oil leaking 2 strokes. Time has stopped here. It's sad.

Yes give him time and encouragement, he'll come around lol.

Van, I'm confused. You mean he'll Rip van Winkle for a decade or two or buy a bus? LOLx2

Jim Blackwood · August 31, 2020, 10:46:31 AM

I dunno. Pretty revealing that when we called him on actual provable accomplishments he folded up and blew away.

Anybody can do internet theorizing and brag big. The real world isn't nearly so nice or so clean.

When, after claiming to have a $150K budget he passed on what to all appearances was a real cream puff at a bargain basement price according to him, his intentions became pretty clear. To me it looked like a move of desperation in the face of diminishing credibility.

But if he does come back I've got no issue with it, provided he can pull in his horns a bit and quit telling such outrageous lies. Hey, I have a couple guys in my family who are like that, they've gotten better over the years. (And I know which ones are the lies, I've made the rounds.) It's a kind of addiction I reckon. So any true busnut should be able to relate, in a way.
