Subject:      New bus! 82 Westy! (and questions!:) (and upcomming trip, too..)
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hey folks..

Mom finally found her a bus.  82 Westy, Better than Excellent condition,
throughout.  I've driven and worked on 98's in worse shape than this!

It's some oddball lightbrown color, though it came through in the digital
pic's I saw as orange...(oops...:)  I'll see about figuring out the proper
name sometime...:)

Mom's already named it:  Baby Maxine.

So anyway.  The questions.

Where in the world does the OE jack (and tools!) store?  The owners manual
says "In a plastic bag under the drivers seat..", or something..  How do
you get it IN there?!:)  Got the jack, (and plastic bag!) and the double
screwdriver, and the 10/13 wrench, and the lugwrench!  Oiy!


And the front table.  Does it just store on it's pedistal all the time?
Or what?  PO stored it in the wayback..

So anyhow.  174k miles, 2nd engine with 55k, runs GREAT.  Michellin MX's
with 10k..Clean clean clean.  Conti spare.  Even the engine is cleaner
than our kitchen!  Mom's the third owner...

All original paint, NO RUST.  Serious!  Eash!:)

Originaly bought in Atlanta, from Jim Ellis..(for those familar...)  Still
have the tag-cover.

Mom loves it.:)

So, we'll be headed to Erie PA, leaving the evening of the 10th, coming
home that next sunday....Who's along the way in the chance we need a
hand?:)

That's about it...Oh.  Came with the 80-82 Bentley, too.

He sold it, cause he got a 91.  He had tears in his eyes as we drove
off...He sure loved this bus!

later....david
