Willie, yes the shifter was a little wonky, sitting behind the dog house, called a blind mans shifter, 5 speeds ahead on high / low

The biggest problem was the fact there was no A/Cin the BIG BMC, and the front windshield was like a green house effect, on a hot sunny day it was murder- Captin JJ was a constant chain smoker (ugh) and he could make a bottle of Pepsi cola last 300 miles.

In regards to the lack of A/ C , Jay Leno in his video of the bus, pointed to the small plastic dash fan And called it Candian A/C

Don't forget the crazy pedal arrangement as well with the accelerator in the middle. Clutch / accelerator / brake from the left or something like that, Big Al will correct me if i am wrong.

Well Willie,

I've left several VM's over the past week, to the point that it told me your inbox was full, so I guess you don't need to speak with me anymore lol

It's been fun, but this place is done. I have no hatred, and appreciate the good times. But this place now belongs to Tony and his pink mini.
