haha i seen that before! so funny.

theres also a bus demo-derby on you tube thats both funny but kind of a drag, theyre so slooowwwww



Fearlessflasher: what are those Alexander Dennis?? I wont drive doubles, we just started getting Vanhool double decks here, I went in one at a trade show, nice but...no. Prevost H345s are intimidating but I can handle them fine, anything taller than 12.4...forget it.

And just to add another pic, an extremely rare aircraft, a '29 Kinner/Crown:

it was built by the same builder who put this thing together:

Crown Coach was a bus builder in LA from '04 to 1991, they would build school buses to last over 20 years, touch and reliable they're known to be the 'caddy of the school buses'. Anyone can be a school bus driver here in Ca, but if you're a CROWN driver...you're like elite. I've driven auto, 5 and 10 sp Crowns...the one in the pic is a '56 (or so) Skyview, about 30 feet long, one of the small ones...but I want one of these, theyre so rare..I've nearly given up the search for one that's running. :(
 
They have their quirks. Owning one is a never ending project. The upside is, they're easy to work on and every conceiveable part is available. I'm going to keep an eye out for one this year at the various car functions I attend. If I find a clean one for the right price, I might buy it.

my neighbor just sold a really mint, early 70s, mini. I wish you had posted last week. You would've loved this one.
 
incorrect. the thread title clearly states "if it has an engine". an engine: singular, not plural :p

the mercedes-benz 300SLR coupe. was a roofed version of their 1955 open top racing car, unfortunately it never raced (due to mercedes withdrawl from motorsports after the '55 le mans disaster).

Nothing with four wheels was EVER cooler than a 300SL in any Gullwing variant.
