B&B's new Royale

Brian and Beverly, you two have impeccable taste, can't wait to see it in person! That is one of the best looking XLV busses Barbara and I have seen period. We hope you have many enjoyable miles in it.

Once again, great choice Brian. Royale has always been known for their cabinet work and their interiors. It's a great find. When you get a chance, how about a picture of the Driver's Dash area.

Thanks to all for the kind words. Thanks especially to Dale for this post (Check's in the mail, Dale). It was great seeing Dale and Paulette on a short lunch stop in Pensacola. After leaving them I boogied on up the road and am overnighting at Camp Walmart in Vicksburg, MS.

My first impression of the bus is it's smoothness and off the line power, wow it's like a sportscar. While the S60 grumbles and rattles at idle, it turns to pure horsepower when romped on. I'll miss the old 40 footer, she taught me a lot about buses and it was fun making the changes and improvements even though it was a very poor investment. The Trukster gets the benefits though and I hope he and Nancy enjoy the old girl as much and Beverly and I did. That said, there won't be much looking back.

The word investment is one that should be banned from use on this site. In fact we should have some means of providing emergency care for anyone thinking that when buying a Prevost conversion they are making an investment.

And can we get an AMEN for the off the line performance of a series 60 compared to the 8V92. That was the biggest single difference between the two (except for the music made by the 8V92).

Brian and Beverly she is a real beauty. Congratulations.

Wow Brian, nice looking bus!

But, I noticed a tiny speck of dirt on the front bumper....you can see it in the picture that has you wearing the funky 1960's sandals......better get right on the clean up of that smudge!

Looking forward to a personal tour when you get home.

Peter,

It's not the 1960 scandals that stand out. He has to eschew himself of the socks. The "Clothes Police" will lock him up if he continues having such a classy coach and the funky socks.

Lew what's up with the misspelling. Of all people, yer breakin my heart.

[Jon Wehrenberg]

What did he misspell? I missed it.
