Default --Changed my mind--getting this instead of an RV

Sorry to break the news to all of you who have chosen an RV already--I know you're going to wish you had this dream machine instead. Now if we could only figure out what it is.

Wonder if it's available in a quick-build?

I'm in but only if it is available with a tail wheel and tip-up canopy.

And primer. It's got to be primed with... something. Let's discuss that here.

This nutty professor lives in Switzerland so I say we get Mickey to go get checked out in this thing. I must admit I am curious.

I just sent him a note. If he gets back to me, I'll let you know what I find out.

Yea, but the "item location" is in Houston.

Ya' think if I drop by I might get a $1,000,000 ride as opposed to the $80,000 RV rides?

Last night in a dream the answer came to me: It's a giant Wile E. Coyote style pogo stick!! Or maybe that big slingshot he got from ACME.

I passed the link around MCC last night, and everyone was excited. We're thinking of puttign in a group bid!

All depends on what Mickey finds out though....
