Howdy Future Friends
I am a high school teacher, and for fun
I run a non profit in Fresno called the Wheelchair Project. I use Crowns and Gilligs to haul medical supplies and various helpful stuff to Central America, Mexico, and lately Haiti.
They make a darned good "truck"!
I am on my 4th bus (they won't allow me to leave this one in Mexico) but have set up buses for many non-mechanical friends who do similar projects.
Since I am serious about my work, I always send as many spares and tools as possible with any bus going to a poor village with minimal skills. (they will use Vice Grips for everything even if you DO send the tools sometimes!)
So, I have spent the last 12 years in, around and mostly under school buses, and have dismantled 3 of them with my own two hands. Filthy, a little dangerous, but extremely educational.
So, if you have a bus question, give me an e-mail or a call. Beware, I like to talk. and if I can't figure it ot, I have a network of folks who work on buses and trucks, transportation supervisors, etc. who can also help.
p.s. Gilligs are better than Crowns!!
