This past Friday I became a member of THE most exclusive club, the Two
Bird Club. I bought a PT 36 to keep my 31FT Big Napper company. Been
looking for something just a little better riding and a little more
refined. Drove it home Saturday and Sunday from Beaufort Sc and she
currently is in the drive next to the Napper while I transfer goods and
materials. Now I can be talked out of the club (cash talks) if anyone
is interested. I've got what I think is a great old FC and I'd love to
see it go to a newbie or forum member. It deserves a good home.

conquer.

Congrats. on the new Bird John. Was enjoying your search, "as one day I will do the same", but you moved very swiftly. Be sure to put a blanket on that S.C. Bird until it gets accustomed to your cooler Pa. weather. My FC came from Mi. , so it was happy to get closer to its original home. Post some pics. and info. as to what power plant, etc. that it has.

Hank,

Do you have a list going of people that would be interested in that
(buying and shipping a coach to Austraila)? If so put me on it, and
give some details.
If it is a serious group I would also propose purchasing John
Heckmans 1973 FC. I've been in it, touched it, smelled it, drove it
and kicked the tires. It's a nice solid coach! Just a thought.

I do not have a list for those interested in buying an old bird and
shipping it to Australia...I will be there for a year starting
Saturday...I can coordinate the Aussy end if someone stateside wants
to take charge here. Probably cost $15 grand to ship it there after
the purchase.........I think we talked about three grand each from 10
birders and someone collecting the money, buying the bird and
shipping it to Melbourne or Sydney and then I can handle arrangements
from there. Each birder would get to travel in the bird etc.
scheduling would have to be worked out etc. Naturally it would be a
loose "partnership." I would get third party insurance on the bird
and licence it.........approximate annual cost $1500 for both.
Be nice to have Ralph as a memeber as he could get the bird
ready..Also no reason why two couples couldn't tour OZ at same
time..it is a big sleeping bird........ANYWAY that is an idea one
year old now without any action. With care, the bird should last a
long time..they have CAT dealers in OZ etc. we could keep the bird
at my house near Melbourne and I could coordinate the visits and pick
birders up at the Melbourne, Australia apt..do not fly to
melbourne ,Florida!!
Kris has a bird in southern california..be nice if he donated it for
price of club membership and then all we would have to pay is
shipping etc..lots f ways to skin a cat.......thism is a good chance
for you all to tour Australia..a beautiful country about the size odf
the USA with only 20 million people...and the ozzzys treat yanks
great!!!
I have driven around the country twice and up the middle twice...lots
to see...I have been swimming with alligators who are afraid but I
had to constantly watch out for the SALT CROC'S as they eat people
including YANKS!
Anyway..why don't some energetic rich organizer get this team of 10
or so off the ground..seems like a great time to buy a bird and ship
it to OZ so the 10 caqn tour around...It cost at least $150 a day to
rent a small motorhome here.....that is $1500 in 10 days...with the
CLUB-10 PLAN, for a couple grand or so one can tour for six months

a gasoline bird could be converted to "autogas" in OZ for $2800 and
autogas is much cheaper the gasoline or diesel in OZ......Jack why
dont you donate your bird to the "CLUB -10" as your membership and
the other 8 memebers will ship it and I will get it converted
to "AUTOGAS" and get it ready for the first "CLUB-10" M memeber to
come over........one should schedule a trip of at least 30 days..60
to 90 days would be better.....
Anybody intersted in running the USA part of the "CLUB-10" SHOW???
