Our 4106 is in southern n.h. Our bus always ready. rally would be kewl !

Hey loveshack! You're pretty close to me! Do you know who owned the 4106 in NH or VT that had engine trouble a couple years ago? I thought he said he was going to scrap his bus. I reached out to him to help with parts but never heard from him.

Hey onelapper how close are you ? No didn't know the guy with blown 4106. I did reach out also .. I can't remember if he answered or not I did ask if he needed help or if he wanted to sell the ole girl . It seems he didn't want much . Hope it didn't get scrapped .... All of us fools up here in Iceland haha I am kidding! Need a rally this coming summer... I would help out for sure ... I guess place and time most important after that I guess it happens and we all learn from there !merry Christmas everyone don't forget a gift for your bus!

I have been looking for an excuse to get going again. Parked my 4106 a few yearsago because I needed tires now I need a knee too.

Looks like you're 2 hours from me, provided 495 isn't a mess. Yeah, too bad we never heard the outcome for that poor bus. I think he walked away from it instead of paying the tow bill to the garage. I was on a weekend motorcycle cruise around that time and kept an eye out for it while my buddies and and I criss-crossed our way up through NH and VT.

I'll talk with Bruce and help get something organized for a NE/Tri State GTG.

I'm down here in Central Jersey and learning myself. I picked up a 1958 but I can't tell which model. I'd love to get in on that get together and pick your brains.

Loveshack, yup! You drove right past my place, I'm a couple miles off Rt 395 in Thompson. Talking about peeps, I was at a race one weekend at Louden with my bus and trailer. I came back to the bus and found absolute strangers inside it! Long story, but one of them ended up buying a Prevost and converted it! We're still friends today.

We'll get something planned soon!

We are indeed in the North East - go to Maine and turn right for three or four hours, you get to Nova Scotia.

We'd be in for a meet in NH, NY, Maine...

Hey Guys,
I'm in NYC and I have an 84 MC9.. I mainly use it in the summer and aside from two round trips to Los Angeles, I mainly go camping upstate NY and I love it !!
I love my bus and I love upstate. My dream is to buy 20 plus acres up there and build a big bus barn and eventually have two or 3 buses.

I would love a northeast bus rally! Where ever it is, count me in ! Who's up for helping me put a series 60 in an MC9 ? Nah

Just kidding! I do dream about it.
Is that even possible ?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everybody !!!!

Emcemv · December 22, 2014, 07:44:02 PM

Seville, how do you park that MCI-9 in NYC? A tough place to keep a bus! Give you a lot of credit!

I still have the 1983 Prevost in North Creek, NY, about 90 minutes north of Albany.

Finally have both time and money. Looking forward to getting some work done.

I've got a Webasto 2020 on the way. A bunch of 'new' tires to put on, a pair of Alcoa rims for the front, a new grinder, plans to attend a welding class in February, and 3 extra 'newer' bus batteries and a Freedom 458 to hook up. Going to hook solar into the equation at some point too.

Need to find a power steering leak, change the oil, get new driver and entrance door windows, get a new title.

Big plans!

Bruce,

I live in New Rochelle, but I also park my bus in the City. It's a lot cheaper than any place in Westchester County. If I tried to park it in my driveway, my neighbors would stop by wit torches and pitchforks. My neighbors in North Carolina don't mind at all.
