I cannot get my brain to understand the concept of how a series 60 getting 8 MPG is not as clean burning or good for the environment as a series 60 with an EGR getting 5.9 MPG.

As a kid i remember the smell of diesel exhaust in the NY Port Authority bus terminal. Today if I start my Ram pick up in the garage I cannot smell any exhaust. So we clearly are improving things, but at what expense.

I would like to kick Al Gore.

Steve: Not that I would have done it, but why would pop rivets be wrong in that location? A smaller rivet (maybe with a large head) could have been used. If the outside holes have the stainless steel screws on the well nuts, wouldn’t that be enough for firmly secure the clam shell, bases with LEDs, and the lenses?

the indivual ping tanks located in system with air bags after norgren valve have drain cocks that after time devolpe a slow leak.

Tim Wells has been a real problem so let’s see if we can return the favor.

He and Bill did an outstanding job providing a parking area for our coaches. As you all can see from the photos we were all together and in close proximity to the Cessna building where we met, ate, were entertained and had access to refreshments.

But since Tim is going out of his way to pick on me I want to return the favor. Let’s make this a 100 to 200 coach rally. If we do this we can watch him pull his hair out trying to figure out how he can accommodate all of us. I know he can do it, but not without having to work his butt off.

Sign up for this rally. I will assure you it will be an event you will completely enjoy. If you have a vintage car and want to sell it, bring it along for the auction or the car corral. If you want to buy a car bring cash. If you just like hanging around with Prevost folks, or have an interest in really neat cars, just come to the rally. Lets make this rally a very big one so Tim is so busy trying to handle 100 or 200 coaches he doesn’t have time to pick on me.

Just kidding about Tim pulling out his hair. He has less than me. In fact he has none. Not kidding about how much fun it will be watching him run around trying to get 100 plus coaches parked.

Buddy, ironically I could not find the inside screws in stainless that had the correct thread, so I had to go with the self tapping SS screws in order to get the correct thread, and they went in and fit well.

Diane,

The Silver Shadow’s are quite nice. Although we don’t own ‘Ole Blue’, we are storing it for our 88 yr. old friend. The 1974 RR Silver Shadow has less than 7,400 original miles on it. I take it out to blow the dust off every now and then. It’s a nice driving car, still smells new which is hard to believe.

If you need the hitch to be 20,000 pulling and 1500 tongue weight make sure you look some of the older XLs have the smaller hitch. 10,000 pulling. and 1000 tongue weight , all XLll have the bigger hitch,

So weather you want a coach with out a slide check the hitch rating On the XLs

[Steve]

Wanted to let you know I have stayed a pecan and some plane noise very tight turn radius to get to spots espically if towing…Victor

[Steve]

I may have said this before, but if I did not have or want a slide I would never consider an XLII, but would only consider an XL or an H3. There is zero benefit to an XLII non slide over a comparable XL.

I have Koni’s on mine they are great
