hello from the purplebus

[purplebus]

g'day all, Shano here.
Based at glasshouse mtns..... wooohoooo.
Drive a very used old purple gq wagon with a v8 chevvy fitted ( when it isnt getting fixed in the shed). looking forward to blending in. Not to internet savvy but will have a go.
Might meet a few at a g/house run one day.

Cheers.

Well have some fun on here mate. We get out a bit as a forum group. We're not like outers. I have been there since 2002, but unfortunately all the peeps I knew have faded away like myself. Got a bit older and want family friendly outings. We have plenty of them. Come and join in.

here is a vid of the burnout comp where I blew the locker and snapped the markes adaptor. it wouldnt let the clutch fully disengage so would fry the clutch in 3rd. you can see the smoke in the inner grd as we come off the line and pull 3rd. tried to pull 3rd again a bit into the skid and it smokes again. Thanks to Murray for the vids.

A lot of people don't the read intros, I didn't even know you had videos in there.

Feel free to throw them in the members ride section or video section so others can see them.

hello and welcome to the forum,
wouldn't it be great to have a very low care factor
and drive it like its stolen, great Vids thanks for sharing

[Squalo]

Not much damage, the Purplebus has a full internal rollcage and racing harnesses on the seats so not much damage to Shano either. It would be hard to damage him further, in fact :) Unfortunately that rollover did result in the plastic starter motor gear stripping (!) so the 454 was quiet for the rest of the weekend, it has an auto trans so couldn't be roll-started.

His Engel fridge has been through three roll-overs and still works great he doesn't even switch it off when the truck is upside down. He took it to an Engel dealer for something once and the dude said 'mate we don't actually work on those old ones', Shane had to explain that it was only 18 months old (it's the gold anniversary model).

He's a funny bugger and there's never a dull moment when Shane is around... especially if the Purplebus is also around.

Wow, had a real sleep this time !, none of this little nanna nap on the side :tongue:

Glad everyone is ok, just goes to show how easy it can happen to any of us really, its amazing how easy it is to roll ,even worse when you have big lift like the bus.
