The problem is it's "Fugly"

Anybody notice the red Safari in the background of the 1 photo?
i saw that a few days ago, i kinda wanna see it.
I don't "think" even Hagerty would insure that one. Why, the front end sticking out the
way it looks in the pictures. Good looking for shows, :icon_thumright: but sure would want to trailer it to them.
Only my 2CENTS

Hey anyone notice that ever since Shawn Bahaha got those glasses he dosn't miss a trick? Dang, he now has supperman eyes that can see the smallest of details. shocked
LoL LoL LoL o142
I doubt if its good for anything but wheelies. Back in the 70's a repair shop on rt 38 named 'Seco II" had a shortened bus. It would pull the front up real nice but it was impossible to drive much over 20mph. Short wheelbase cars are known to get "squirrley" at speeds and I'd bet this one is a real handful.
Ive had it up to 45 - 50 it is a little squirrley but feels like most of it is due to the front end needing some work. As for fugly you cant hate on the car for the owner being a little to attached to his old school vision gator skate board. anyway that look is out the window or should i say on the floor of my brother in laws garage in the form of thick plastic chunks. im thinking a nice back to basic look maybe white with a nice blue tye dye vinal wrap.
I knew you'd eventually find this post skibum! LAUGH@

Its cool i wasnt a member at the time. and i dont care how fugly she is when she pops up on two wheels she looks beautiful.
and i prob never would of found it bahaha if you didnt say something about it thats like telling someone not to look down.
It's like my momma always says... "Ya gotta open your mouth to change feet every once in a while." (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/hide.gif) ("Don't chit where ya eat" would'a worked too!) LAUGH@
I just didn't want you to find it 6 month's from now and get peeved. It's good to know you have a sense of humor.
Hey New Guy.. Don't pay any attention to that Benny Bahaha Dude. His eye's are like exray vision shocked they don't miss a thing. LAUGH@ :icon_cheers: LAUGH@

Looks like you've got the "wheeley" contest covered at Punch Buggy!
I've seen a dune buggy pop a wheeley once in the middle of Pitman but never a bus in Runnemede, Very cool! looks like a lot of fun
It is lots of fun i never laughed so hard in my life. trying to perfect it to a soft landing. my brother in law is the best at it but he weighs like a hundred pounds less then me so easier to get the front end up. i need to find a nice open parking lot to practice in if anyone knows of any let me know we can all meet up and have some fun im trying to get allot of clips to string together for a nice long youtube video.
Ideas are plentiful...

Now that one appeals to me :icon_tongue: If it were mine I would put on chrome wheels, scopes where the engine vent are, SJVWC logo on the upper white portian, wheellie bars, take off engine deck lid and add a chrome exhaust with an upsweep stinger. I can see it in my head. It would be P#3
I am not quite feeling the pink and blue but the overall theme applies. Wheelies are definitely a must for this bus. I see where you are going scarecrow. Some Porsche twist wheels would be pretty pimp!!
