WANTED: earlybay or a crossover right away!!!

[tnt]

Hi

Sorry for my English, im from Denmark.

I will land in Gatwick Airport in 36 hours (Thursday 7.05am) to buy a Earlybay. I was going to look at 2 busses, but now the one is gone... I need alternatives, to risky going all the way just to look at one bus!! I need a plan B of course... I think the one im going to look at, could be the one, but hard to say when i just have seen some pictures.. And i would like to se 2 or 3 busses before i make a choice..

I already have booked and payed the ferry, so already spend a lot of money on flighttickets, car rental, and the ferry from Harwich back to Denmark - so please tell me what you got, no trashy ones or projects, patina works fine

Tintop/microbus but im not so much into popup with the high roof.. Budget 8-9.000, maybe 10.000 if its the right one.... I was going to look at this one, just so you now what i like

We have a 72 xover but it's double your budget. That said if you buy it we'll refund your Ferry costs..!

Hi all.

A Danes roadtrip is about to be ended...

The trip startet real bad, actully before it was startet , while one of the two busses i was going to UK for, just got sold 24 hours before my trip startet. Flight ticket, ferry ticket already booket and payet. So i went of to get the best out of it, and i had made a plan b / found some other busses to see, but the locations where far from each other, two of the busses was at taypic who runs Restore and More.

We (my buddy Dannie) arrivet in Gatwick airport in south England, 7.00am thursday this week. Drove to Leicester and then Chester, but didn really find what i was looking for.

Already from wednesday taypic and I was e-mailing about options and his busses. Taypic had fine Cali busses but was not ready for a sale, where they should drive to south UK, and he was very honest about it.
Taypic was from the start very helpfull, and he was online alle the time - I was online in the car, and we was emailing all the time, almost every hour and sometimes many times per hour, about options and so, sometimes under the trip we also talked in phone. As things didnt really turned out good for me, taypic startet think even more alternatives, he knew a guy - Lee that had a nice bus, but it was over my budget, but still he send some pictures.
Next morning we did meet taypic at his garage i the north east. And then Lee came with his fantastic crossover (see link build thread/in the end of this). I manage the rest of the money from denmark, and went far over budget, but its all worth it.

Then we missed our ferry, and now we are sitting on a hotel and waiting for the ferry - it only sailes every second day.
While im sitting here in my hotel and thinking about it, im really amazed over taypic, im a stranger, he never met me, he just liked the idea that i went on 1000 miles roadtrip from denmark in two days for getting a bus!!! He helped me in every way, those days, we textet, we emailed, we talked in phone anytime from 7-8 am to 24/01.00 in the night. One of the times when i talked to him, he just had to call me back, because he was going to put the kids to bed, and then he called back 22pm!!

I must give taypic a big big credit, for hes honesty, and being such a symphatic person. As i sayed to taypic, now you have a new very good friend i denmark - never forget how anyone can be so helpfull , even that he never met mee.

Just such a shame, that we after many days of communication , finally met, I just bought the bus and had to rush away to try to get the ferry, that we actully never got to talked alot, when we finally met each other...:-( Maybe next time Michael (taypic), its been a honor too meet such a helpfull man as you, for who, restoring and selling vintage cars, is not just a buisness, but something you really do because you love everything about it, also the people you meet!
Maybe we meet again, i really hope so.

Heres is the absolutly fantastic bus that taypic got for me: http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=38185" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
