Hi,

This may be interesting for some of you that have followed our travels and helped out along the way - if you go to http://www.nzherald.co.nz and look at the entertainment section there's a big article: "Life extraordinary: Miriam Clancy's US travel diary" and it features a shot of our GMC. There are a few more pics here: http://issuu.com/apnmediaservices/docs/cb12295volume017?mode=window&backgroundColor#222222

We still have the bus, sadly selling our GMC as we have to fly to LA next weekend and then on to NZ for a while and we need the money to pay for tickets, but love the US and our GMC so will be back soon for a new one.

Regards,
JP

PS. Bob K, Ken B, Rob M, Emery, etc - I took some pics of shots with measurements of those Master Cylinder brake line fittings on http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=12887 in case it helped with that discussion. Definitely a larger thread on the front line. 1/2-20 for the rear one and 9/18-18 for the front one.

Yeah, I would love to - I checked out that link the other day - we even have somewhere to store it with a friend upstate, but we would need a 5k bank loan to keep it as we have bills to pay. Will look forward to getting another one or buying this one back maybe when we return in 6-8 months!

JP,

If you can't sell it and wind up having to store it I would suggest you consider contacting:

Ken Frey
1669 N. Old Bethlehem Pike
Quakertown, PA 18951
(215) 536-1246
freykjgmc@yahoo.com
http://www.kenlfreyautorepair.com/

He's 95 miles from NYC and stored Double Trouble behind his shop for me. You could rent a car in Quakertown and drive back to NYC to
fly out.

At least you'll know it's in safe hands and he can continue to try and sell it for you.

Regards,
Rob M.
