Hi folks, I am pleased to present most of the buses that attended Bussin' 2005! There are some additional pictures of bus owners, as well as some pictures from seminars, meals, etc. There are 172 pictures, 142 of them are buses... and I think there are 2 duplicates. So many buses; so little mind to keep track of them all!! Click on the Bussin' 2005 Billboard in the left frame and on the resulting screen, click on "~~~ CLICK HERE for pictures from BUSSIN' 2005! ~~~" Enjoy :~) Ian www.busnut.com | ||

Hi there! Great job darling! Some really awesome buses here. Don't forget to write to Ian and tell him which bus is yours so he can label it. We tried to do it ourselves but it would have taken us forever to get around to all the buses that were there. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the new year. Maisie | ||

Folks, The all 172 pix are now online. My apologies to those who look drunk or stupid, or both... like me, for instance - but all was not as it appears to be, here in these shots - kinda like those papparazzi shots in the National Enquirer  Thanks for all your positive comments throughout the day today, I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you to those who have identified yourselves. I'll make those updates shortly. Please, anyone else who can let me know which one you are, I would be grateful. Thank you. John R, Jack told me there were about 199 registrations, so I'm still a few dozen pix short. As well, some of the buses were parked where it was impossible for me to stand in a position to get the shot, so about 8 to 10 buses are missing there, too. Thanks everyone!! Ian www.busnut.com | ||

Hi Jack, I have seen first-hand what a huge undertaking it is for you, Paula and all your volunteers to put forth this incredible event. What a great time Maisie and I had!! Thank you so much for everything you did for us from your most generous offer to stay at your place to the "royal" tour of the facility and all the buses via the Orange Blossom Special III, the meals, the band, the comic and especially the camraderie. It was a pleasure to finally meet you both. You work tirelessly for all of us and it's a tribute to you that this event is so well attended. I am happy to put a few pictures up so that, if nothing else, it inspires people to pack up and make your event a part of their lives, because that's what Maisie & I have committed to do since attending your rally. We were so blown away by the wonderful people we met and got a chance to chat with. Always a treat to put a face to a name!! What a great group of friends we all have. You and everyone at Bussin' 2005 made this our most memorable New Year's celebration ever and we can't wait to see you all at next year's Bussin' 2006! Thank you Jack, from all of us.

To all those who missed the rally: Don't miss another one! What a wonderful time we all had! Let's not ever forget how blessed we are to have this extended family and the ability to meet new friends and catch up with old ones. Thank you Jack and Paula for giving us the chance. Thanks also to Bill and Brenda Phelan for the hours and hours they spent at the front gate. The food was great, the entertainment wonderful and the buses were out of this world. I got to kiss a few cheeks and hug alot of necks and I loved every minute of it! Thanks again Jack and Paula..Sherryd | ||
