my first bus
my girl friend Christine has been putting up with all my talk about getting a bus, so this morning she presented me with my first bus - it's a bit small for my needs, but perhaps I can work with it

A bit small, perhaps, but I expect excellent fuel economy, and very affordable insurance and license plates.

yes, great economy - give it a little push and it propels itself across the living room floor

Christine is looking forward to traveling in a bus too - she lived full time in a bus for a number of years and loved it - she already knows about roof raises and insulation and has some ideas she would like to see incorporated into a bus

That sounds great then, a family affair. Hopefully she can drive, assist the building and finishing, do electrical and mechanical work, cook and read maps. You just might have it made sledd!
