88' 8v92 NC 50grand
Just like anything else, it's the flaws that give 'em character and make 'em interesting. My major complaint against Prevost is that they're too perfect. I literally fall asleep behind the wheel - boring. The BB reminds me of my British sports car, a Triumph TR250, it hops and weaves, and puts a smile on your face. Add to this all the wonderful gadgetry on a BB that keep us amused: the electroluminescent dashboard, musical horns, altimeter, and then all the systems that linger like long abandoned DNA: 4 ways to heat the interior, redundant water pumps, redundant air pumps.. And then implicit in all this is the owner involvement, BB did a great job over the years of making everything accessible, the owner is encouraged to debug and maintain these things. I've got 40 tons of HWH jacks, enough to easily lift the bus and pull a tire if need be. Things like this don't exist on many other brands. Its 40 years of evolution and organic growth. Can't be beat, flaws and all. I love 'em all and hope someday to add a vintage model to my garage. But alas, I'm preaching to the choir. David '02 LXi, NC Ryan Wright wrote:
