How about a thread for what is for sale from the road warrior or what has already been sold like the engine? I saw that fact on TS.
Ryno is the lucky guy!

Actually, I have Colin's engine. It's awaiting installation and currently resting in the back of my 75 bus at the moment:chitwnvw wrote:Ryno got his engine?
Though I guarantee that nobody in this thread knows who I am, I do know who Colin is and I am 100% grateful to have received the engine and have helped (albeit minimally, because Bretski, pb24ss and Calivw78 were madmen and finished almost everything the first day) in the careful parting of the Road Warrior.
I'm mostly on TheSamba, but I enjoy being here as well and look forwarding to contributing more.

i know who you are. you are deserving of this engine, and i'm glad i was able to help you get it. it did tear me up to tear apart the road warrior though.

Thanks Dan - really appreciate it.pb24ss wrote:i know who you are. you are deserving of this engine, and i'm glad i was able to help you get it. it did tear me up to tear apart the road warrior though.
And yes, the experience of seeing the Road Warrior like that was somber. You could see Colin's love and meticulous caring in every single minute detail on that bus.
It gives us all something to aspire to.

I still react seeing the pictures. Some part of me still expects to just step outside, vault over the floor speaker, start it up and drive . . . anywhere.pb24ss wrote: it did tear me up to tear apart the road warrior though.

Seeing the parts that I lived with for 30 years just up and go. Oh well. Next chapter.

(the 68,000 headliner dots took nine days of monk/Zen flow with plenty of good music, courtesy that Kenwood AM/FM/Cassette player, and a mattress laid out on the seats so I could just lay there and do long rows and columns of dots. The job used five Sharpie markers total, kept sharp with the bench grinder every five hundred dots or so. We have a member of the forum here who saw it happen)
