we bought a bus and took out all the seats and we have 4 couches, a fouton, 2 recliners, TV, ps2, stereo, barn fan, and A/C

its painted blue with flames on the front and we just built a platfor on the top to sit on during the races, now we always have the best seat in the house.

and we also have like these green rope lights all around.,, its prety pimp:devil:

We just purchased a vehicle to haul our bikes, quads, gear and persons. It will also serve as our camping facility.

It looks like a twinkie and holds 66 people.
If you haven't already guessed:

It's an '83 Carpenter with a Chevy 366 and a 4-speed.
We won't have to worry about any speeding tickets in this baby.
It was only $500. What a deal! There was four of us who chipped in and I am sure others will donate to the cause.
It gets an AMAZING 5mpg. At least we can all ride together, no trailers, split the gas, lock up the vehicles, and no tents to set up.

Yes, we are keeping it at my house. I haven't brought it home yet so DO NOT forward this to my wife. Otherwise
my belongings will be waiting for me in the garage. LOL!


I wanted send out a picture of what it looks look before we modify it:
- take out all the seats
- cut/hinge the back so we can get our bikes/quads in
- fold down bunk beds
- lights
- sink
- stove
- cabinets
- shower
- toilet
- roof rack for sitting and storing
- AC
- CUSTOM paint job

i'll post more pix later
