Who has the best and worst looking bus 2008?

Paladin · January 29, 2008, 01:20:45 PM

I sincerely hope not to hurt anyone's feelings on this but I'd like a vote as to the best looking and maybe the ugliest bus in the group. I'm talking exterior cosmetics, not interior etc.
Personally I think my bus currently ranks in the lower third, maybe even lower 10 percentile and I really hope to change that. Although I'm not real familiar with everyone's bus I think Nick may have the best looking or at least among the top.

Who wants to nominate someone for the best looking bus?
Please only nominate yourself for the ugliest!

While we're at it, who wants to nominate the best interior? (Doesn't someone here have a really nice Prevost?)
Most creative use of space?
Best technology?
Nicest vintage bus?

I'd love to see some pictures and results since we can't all be at a rally at once or something.

Ya won't hurt my feelings.

We've been kicked out of hourly rate campgrounds for bein' too ugly!

Our bus is so ugly, Henry Ford slapped everyone of the GM boys when it was built!

how's this for ugly?

In a former life it was Hoyt Axton's "ROSIE" & he loved touring in it.
Too bad it has suffered so much neglect . . .

Dave (Paladin), your bus isn't even close to mine in ugly. Your bus at least has nice white sides. My bus has a whole mismatch of different color panels covering the windows. The aluminum panels are preprimed, but they were seconds and came from various different batches.

Painting is fairly far down my priority list as I can't afford a professional painter and I don't have a building yet to do it myself.

Kyle, I got some bad news bud....those local kids done went and stole one of your wheels!

Hope you can find it!
Those SCs sure look good, but too much work for an old geezer.

Don't know about the ugliest (mines pretty close), but my vote for best looking is the guy with the 45 ft red scenicruiser. You know the one. I don't recall his name. Didn't get to meet him or see the bus up close, unfortunately, but it's by far the most awesome looking bus I've ever seen.

The 45'6" (he wanted it to be bigger than a Prevost) red Scenicruiser belongs to Pat McNeil. It is a beautiful bus. Jack

I got a chance to see big red at the rally and talk with pat, his bus is by far the best example of what creative engineering can do, he's got an awesome bus and he seems to be a great guy.

Paladin · January 30, 2008, 11:54:20 AM

I'd love to see this bus, are there any pics?

I think it was two of 'm. And I ain't gonna get in on this vote'n thing since I ain't got no dog in that race. (except hav'n one awesome look'n unconverted 45' Setra! LOL!) But no Dave, Gumpy, even Dallas and some others your buses aren't even close to some of the buses I see on my trips from time to time! As for Brian's well I can't say it's the ugliest, but he did take an ugly Dina and make it uglier! LOL! (sorry Brian I couldn't resist as I never have like the looks of a Dina :multi colored or not!)
