Hightechredneck that is the rally I knew about there could not be that many Eagles around of different models or could there be ?

That was it though. But also, I've seen mentioned that this year they opened it up to a couple other bus models including GM.  I thought the other was MCI, but it may have been Prevost.

Eagles,flexible's,and Gm's . Our first bus rally and we had a blast !

the only down side for us was blowing the engine (again   ),but not even that could keep us from attending

[Van]

Up side to this ,being at the rally ,we found a new engine to replace the old one and meet the nicest group of people having the time of their lives (what bus nuts do when they hit the road),more later. Van

That is a really huge down side.  I'm glad you enjoyed the rally anyway though.

TBW what brand of bus was the ones painted red and creme colors that look like they were from the 1950's era cool looking rigs I don't see them in your picture

VT,that was the most thrill for me was seeing a fully restored flexible absolutely beautiful.

[VanTare]

Thank you TBW I am new to buses do these people restore the older buses like old cars ?

Thanks nick,at least we got to camp overnight while waing for our rescuers from GREAT WEST towing to arrive sat morning,was a little unnerving being only a foot and a half from the road way. Cheryl said she was amazed at how calm I was during the break down,guess after the last time I have become de sensitized which helped in dealing with the situation.

 VT here's another shot.

[Van]

David ,I would have to say so ,they looked like they just rolled off the assembly line.

I maybe changing the subject but I think Van tare has his question answered. I was wondering how many miles on your engine since last rebuild and why did it blow up and was it completely toast?

[VanTare]

I have 1 more question for you TBW I saw a bus that looked like a small Senicruiser that I remember from when I was kid did they have 2 models of the Senicruiser or was that a different bus also      thank you
