What a coincidence, I am making a set of pedals for the '06 Prevost luxury tour buses owned and leased by All Access Coach Leasing. My brother-in-law is part owner in theis company. So I guess this is one of those "brother-in-law" deals....
http://allaccesscoach.com/

This is the only way to travel (if you have a driver). We took one from our house to Tennesse last spring. We left at about 9pm and woke up in Tenn. at about 9:30am the next day.

The red one on his home page is the one he drove home at Christmas.
All of his Prevost buses have flat panel tv's that fold down in the bunks and huge ones in the lounges(one in the front and one in the back. I think I counted 13 in all.

This could be the next thing we may all want when we reach retirement.
An all bus Power Tour 2032. LOL

I bet there will be a GM Bus at next years Barrett Jackson with the money this one has just sold for, maybe even 2 buses.

The bus was bought by Ron Pratt. He is the guy that bought 52 cars last year, including Chezoom and Whatthehey. Friend of Steve Sandlin, had some of his cars at the SEMA party. Cool.

Can anyone confirm this: A friend of mine who went to B-J and bought two cars claimed that the high bidder on the Futureliner tried to back out and didn't want to pay, claiming he was inebriated at the time of bidding.

I heard there was confusion on who was actually bidding and who the auctioneer was taking bids from... something along the lines that the auctioneer kept raising the price even though there were no counter bids being made. You probably remember the 'announcement' made some time later by Craig Jackson stating the selling price was reduced. I believe that was the direct result of being confronted about what happened with the auctioneer.

A short time after the bus went, the bald guy in the white shirt was having some words with Craig Jackson down in front of the stage. He didnt look very happy. After about ten minutes of discussion they both walked towards the back of the arena. Dont know where they went.
