Can busses ever be cool Cal-Lookers?
Jesus:
Wimp :P I can understand that you feel a little more vulnerable as there is NO bonnet in front of you to give you a false sense of safety. But you can always cage a bus as you can with a Bug. (pics below of the Cool Flo 56 Panel). I've run mid 16's with my 1776cc and (on private roads only) sat at 100mph quite comfortably, Been a passenger in the green Panel above which a fair few years ago ran mid 13's with a 2332cc engine. I think just like with bugs it's all in the set up and parts used. Obviously Stock brakes are a NO NO, but uprated vented disc brakes seem to do the job quite nicely. Buses are really stable and great fun to drive when set up properly! I'd argue they are much more stable than beetle's at Speed due to the weight and extra wheel base! ;D I can't wait for next year I'll be running my new 2276cc engine which is currently being built. Roll on the low 15's maybe 14's ;D

I think the Slingle Cab turned out very Cal Look, but I may be biased :)

Lol, very nice work, first of all! Bus looks great. Second of all, I was being partially facetious in my response, as I'm a big fan of Jason Lang's 13-second bus that regularly hits up Sacramento Bug O Rama. You are right about that false sense of security in a Bug, I won't deny that... ;D

There was a "cal-trans orange", bay window panel with BRMs featured in VWTrends years ago. It was pretty sweet.
