question for the group for clarity

[Hugh Turner]

Ralph, Scott, Mike, Randy, Bill, Stephen, Bruce, Blair and anyone else
I may have missed
Thank all of you for the answers and tongue lashing I knew I was going
to get and Scott deserved for this question. Ralph I agree with the
comment that your reply described the right kind of bird person. If
someone found the following before they found the fantastic source of
information and bird people which I do consider myself one while am
still searching for my bird I feel they could be very intimidated or
that there are special qualities required to nurse one.

"There was little talk about the qualities of the coach, and I came
to the conclusion that these were all people wanting to move up from
the plastic coaches that are on the market, but unwilling or unable to
pay for the worth of a genuine first - rate coach...These people ar
not 'Bird - quality people, and, rather than go down from my already
$10K under price, I am just keeping my old Bird as a spare...Too bad
not everyone knows how exceptional these old girls are."..

I realize as anyone on this forum does that a wanderlodge is a
quality bus, but sellers that have had theirs on the market for 3
years with the same pictures and the FIRM in bold letters in the ad
should realize a couple of things perhaps their bus is not the quality
they thought it was or they have it way over priced or they are
wasting everyone's time and never wanted to sell it any way. My point
of the question which everyone point out is there could be a
wanderlodge for almost anyone provided they are adequately prepared to
earn their wings or they going to buy a copy a the plant on the way
out .Me I prefer to earn mine so Ernie your right I do fit in. I just
need something to fit into.
