I'd bet a bunch of long haired cool cats with peace signs around their neck hung
around in those "jamb up foxy at the time" Birds and stashed their illegal loot
in the safe until Wild Cherry coined the word Funky. Cool, Jamb Up and Classic
they are in more ways than one. I don't know about funky. lol

That's complicated.

1. I appreciate quality. I have always (well almost always)
preferred used top quality to new so-so quality.
2. I want to retire sometime in the next 12 -18 months and fulltime
in an RV so it must be somewhat roomy. I will be travelling solo so
it doesn't have to be a behemouth.
3. I don't want to tow a trailer, so a motorhome is the target.
4. It must be large enough for me and some of my stuff and a
workbench for my jewellery (I make jewellery as a side line) but
small enough to get into State and Provincial parks so it should be
35 feet or less.
5. I drove coaches for a living for several years and I think buses
are cool. I saw my first 'Bird at a dog show at a NY state dog show
and loved its funky style.
6. I want to be able to stay in "primitive" locations with no
hookups for extended periods and BBs have huge tanks and a big roof
with room for lots of solar panels.
7. There's a reasonable number of them available and they're
importable into Canada with no modification.
8. I love the look of them. From the goat rails to the front
handles to the chrome bumpers.

I'm aiming for a nice '84 or '85 FC 35' with side bath and double
bed in the corner, although I'd consider a 33'. I would love
an '87,88 or 89 but can't afford a nice one and I don't want
a "project".

If you remember the sixties, you weren't there.

I really can't say. If so, they had a time. Me. I escaped with a few brain cells
left. The cats in Telluride need a visual.
Come on, hurry up and buy a bus.

Good for you. :-) How did you find out about these rallies; date,
time, location...

> I do not think going to a rally in a tent is all that bad...

If you say so, but talk about the mouse sleeping with the elephant...

I've merged all the rallies that have been posted into date order.

Ernie, could this list be stored in the Files or Database section?
I'd be happy to maintain it, if you like (I don't mean to step on
your toes or anything. Just want to be helpful.)

Or, I could post it monthly or something...
