Re: The LlamaZine

Re: The LlamaZine

The seats came out of a Ford conversion van at a local junk yard. $300 for the set of 4. Recline and swivel. Family said they road very nice.

Re: What kind of milleage do you get?

The 10+ MPG I got on my first trip home with the new Blue Bird sure beats the heck out of the 6 MPG I was getting out of my E350 gas shuttle bus.

Re: The LlamaZine

Smitty,

I live in Iowa and you know what the weather has been like. All I've managed to do so far is get all the seats out. The bus barely fits into my corn crib (with front mirrors removed). ...
