When first entering www.busnut.com, there is a picture of a bus with matching trailer. Could you provide any info about the pair? Sure looks like a really nice setup. If possible, please include all available info about the trailer. Looks to be some sort of enclosed car hauler.
Thanks,
Mike T

Hi Mike,

This is going to disappoint you...

I visited Marathon Coach, north of Tampa, FL, in 1998, after enjoying an extended holiday with my dad, who lives in Clearwater.

While at Marathon, I snapped a few quick pix of some of the vehicles parked around their parking lot, including the beautiful Prevost LeMirage XL with matching trailer.

This is what will disappoint you... that's all I know about the coach!! I didn't ask about it, I didn't ask to look inside or in the trailer - nothing. It was parked, nose in, at a service bay getting a headlight changed.

You are about the bizillionth person to ask about it and I will promise you what I have promised everyone else... the next time I see this coach, I shall expose a roll of film on it and author a 500 word, or more, essay about her.

And before you ask about the beautiful music accompanying our opening page (again, as a bizillion others have asked), I don't know where I got that, either. I know nothing about its author but used to, and I know for sure that it is in the public domain but don't know where to find it, or others like it from the same musician.

Sorry. Bad webmaster! Bad. ***Slaps self on nose with rolled up newspaper***

Regards,

Ian Giffin

I@n,
a few weeks ago, I saw a very similar looking bus and trailer pulling in to our local K-Mart parking lot to "overnight". What I could not believe was he had a "towed" attached to the trailer as well. I did not know of any State that would allow that configuration. Boats and small trailers attached to the rear of a 5th wheel, I know is legal in some States, but not two tag type trailers. Anyone know different?
Peter.

The Prelude of the BNO Music is by the English composer Elgar Opus67 (best known for "Pomp and Circumstance",most frequently heard at school/college gaduaton exercises) then it changes metre and slips into something neo-classic,by a composer unknown to me, but pleasant nontheless. Cheers...JJ
