I think it would make an awesome tow vehicle / camper, for that matter.

Only quoting myself, because the same people selling the bus are also trying to give away cats.

I have already withdrawn cash to buy the bus. Now is purely a logistics problem of finding someone to go down to GA with me.

So, just in case anyone here ever gets to thinking "well, that's it. I am pretty much the biggest nerd in the world," wrong.

Bah. Anyone can "plan". I got about 60% of a Tiger tank replica done before giving up. It's still in my garage taking up space.

Lost almost everything in the last computer crash. I may have some stuff buried someplace, I'd have to check. It's been sitting there for 10 years now. I don't have the heart to destroy it, after all the work that went into it.

Found a really old one. Website was called "Leete's Folly"

That's not nerdy at all. It's not useful, but it's not nerdy.

I bet he gets laid in it.

I used to get email from all over the world. People asking me how to do things, asking for updates, even wanting to buy the damn thing.

Umm, I have never in my life soldered a single thing onto a circuit board, nor Megasquirted anything. You build these things; it's easy for you. For me it was a maddening exercise that was made unnecessary by the need to buy a second Megasquirt for the Cobra and the realization that sometimes it just makes more sense to hire people who are smarter than you.
