"Serendipity" - was Re: 3208 boost

[chunkymar]

Mike,
Yes, my BB (Sereneipity) is the one Roland and Janice had. I love
the bus and they did a lot of work to it. It is in great shape and
just about everything works great. I just wished it had a drive
line retarder and more power, cuz I do a lot of traveling in the
mountains. Because of its shape and looks I am concidering going
all the way with a retarder and 250 hp turbo. Just trying to
justifiy spending the money. Thanks for the post and would
appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Jim Marsh
