Another E bayer that thinks he has a PD4501 Scenic-Cruiser ....

[kyle4501]

Actually, it sounds more like a grade school playground! 

Some of us refuse to grow up & like to hang out where intelligence (or what passes as) won't be as noticed 



By the way, Buffalo's still rule.

Rule what?   

[NewbeeMC9]

Also I beleive he said Your coach was a "pop icon", you know, like Brittany Spears, ....

Cliff

So that is where the "Scenic" came from and would also explain the lack of drawers  and also we now know why the call it PD......

[Chaz]

Here ya go Kyle. Just in case your "Scenic-Radar" hadn't picked this up yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI3t3NQj7q4

Chaz

p.s. by the way............ the road!

[kyle4501]

Thanks for the video link Chaz. I always knew you would be good for something. . . 


the road? ? ? You must be dreaming too

At least it can't be said you don't have an imagination! 

[BusCrazyTom]

Chaz,

Great Scenicruiser footage. Those old coaches are great! And Buffalo's are way cool too!

Tom

[Songman]

Good looking Cruiser... Sorta defeats the purpose though since the closed off the top windshields.

Kyle,

You know, the road!

That black surface that the low boys carry you around on...   ROFLMAO

Oh, I understand what you are thinking now, but Cliff, you have missed something rather important. It is the common buses that are transported on lowboys.

When a Scenicruiser is transported, it is very much like the pope being carried in his sedia gestatoria. 

[FloridaCliff]

OK,

Let me set the record straight!

I hope you ALL have had a few laughs as Kyle, Jackhart, Newbee, Chaz, Russ, Myself and a bunch of others, have enjoyed poking fun at each other.

In person Kyle and Myself step it up a notch or two in the teasing, so we both did pretty good here keeping it PG.

I do have an immense amount of respect for Jackhartjr, Kyle and there Scenic projects, There is NO doubt in my mind that they will get them all back to roadworthy condition.

So in a move to reunite all the GM factions again "GMC's are King of the Roads"

And the congregation of Get More Cash said "Amen"

Cliff

I will be happy to say "Amen" to that...
with one caveat... The 4102's and especially the 4103 "Henry J's" were the older brothers to both the 4501 and the 4905. Without those two models, none of the later models would have been possible!

The PD 4103s were great buses, solid fast and simple.  The PD4905s probably owe more to the fishbowl than any other bus, however.  And the relationship between transit and parlor coach would have eventually led to an RTS-based coach.  But it was not to be.

So now one of yours has asked for a 'peace treaty'.  What with Arcadia coming up in less than two weeks a feeble attempt has been made for solidarity among the ranks of the GMC guys....how shallow!

I take no issue with the Sceni-Cruisers...they are like most GMC's...antiques. 

With the improvements made to over the road buses with the advent of MCI's, Greyhound finally found a bus that they could depend on and kept the flow of passengers and packages flowing with a profit. 

With all due respect to the dreamers in our hobby, MCI's still rule.

With tongue in cheek,

Bob

MCI? Many years ago at the airport in Houston,Texas (IAH) the big airport.
Continental Airlines used the MC-5C's ex Saudi Greyhounds for employee transportation.
They had the MCI logo on the front under the windshield.
A fellow aircraft mechanic and my self were standing awaiting the employee transportation for the American Airlines mechanics.We had to ride on Blue Bird's yuck.
Billy asked me Vickers what does MCI stand for.And my reply was Motor Coach Industries.He said nope you are wrong it means More Creeps Inside!
Now every time I see MCI I have to think of Billy's saying More Creeps Inside.
But today it could also mean More Cash Invested!
I am not picking on MCI the owners even though I happen to own a P8M4905A 1974 Buffalo converted coach.
I think the MC-9 is one of the best over the road coaches MCI has ever built.
Only the PD-4104's by GMC can come close to the production and number of years they were built.

The great thing about this thread is that it has shown that there are often many different ways to look at something. & just because you disagree doesn't mean you are wrong. Just because you may have a witty comeback doesn't mean you are smart   
That said . . .

So now one of yours has asked for a 'peace treaty'.  What with Arcadia coming up in less than two weeks a feeble attempt has been made for solidarity among the ranks of the GMC guys....how shallow!
When I hear feeble & shallow in the same sentence, there ain't nothing GMC that comes to mind! I get a mental image of a poor guy in suspenders trying to explain to his wife why he can't get a muffler for her bus - this is AFTER he talked her into letting him get the bus by convincing her that parts would be easy to get since MCI is still making buses!


I take no issue with the Sceni-Cruisers...they are like most GMC's...antiques.
Bob, you should know all about antiques.   

With the improvements made to over the road buses with the advent of MCI's, Greyhound finally found a bus that they could depend on and kept the flow of passengers and packages flowing with a profit. 
Hmmmmmm, Is that why greyhound is such a highly sought after means of transportation today & that desireability must also explain the proffit status of the company. 

With all due respect to the dreamers in our hobby, MCI's still rule. 
Bob, the problem with talking to yourself while dreaming is that no one important is listening (this is something I have learned from personal experience.)         


(It's great to tease in person, but later you often find yourself thinking "I should have said . . . . . "  So, yes, this is all good fun.)

[Green-Hornet]

May this thread never die!
Kyle, I want to adopt one of yer orphans!
