---Hi Tom
I remember you at the birds nest. I am sorry that you think the
coach was brown and cream. This is the factory paint on this coach.
The aluminum spoilers are brown. I did these my self. To have
something this pretty you have to enjoy and love it.

If I misunderstood what you told me at the birds nest I apologize,
Thought you had said you had the bottom and top resprayed to the
blue, cream, brown scheme. Now thatyou have corrected that
misrepresentation by me, I apologize once again< embarrassed>.
However with that said am I correct as to the original carpet,
uypholstery and carpet runner? You didnt remark.
I did however point out how intent you were on cleaning the coach
and having it immaculate. I was tired and just watched as you may
remember.
You will have absolutely no trouble selling this coach for a good
price and I believe that discussions like you and I just had only
make other forum members more comfortable in considering your coach.
AS long as these discussions are in good taste, non confrontational,
and in the interest of eleminating possible oversights or mistakes in
describing our coaches when they are up for sale, then I believe its
to everyones benefit to participate in it. I hope you agree and no
harmful intent was intended.
