AIRS Rescue Trip AIRS Rescue Trip AIRS Rescue Trip AIRS Rescue Trip

AIRS is the Aircooled Interstate Rescue Squad, which is a list of vw people willing to help you in a vw emergency. The AIRS list can be found @ www.type2.com The following story is of our recent AIRS rescue of a girl from Pa and her '78 bus who blew the engine in Hays, Kansas on their way to Denver. So friday, we figure out that there isn't a snowflakes chance in hell of getting Tiffany's (girl from PA) bus fixed in the middle of kansas, so we arrange to tow it to Colorado if she'd pay our gas. She said no problem, so at 5am Saturday morning, we hit the road. After dragging our dolly behind the gas guzzeling V8 the 6+ hours to hays and calling Steve R about 10 times, we finally found the shop where the bus was @, but tiffany wasn't anywhere to be found. Called tiffany about 50 times, and if anyone called her, you know that she has about a 2 minute song on her voicemail that gets really annoying after calling it over and over, not to mention burns cell minutes while on roaming... I had talked to her at around 1pm the previous day, and she said they were in CO, but they were heading out to Hays as we spoke and would be there to help us load it up...etc. So we go talk to the mechanic who says they're in CO, I tell him what I just typed, and he said, oh, well here's this OTHER number I have for them. Call the other number, get Tiffany's friend, who tells me that they're still in BOULDER... Fun times. Figure out a plan to leave the bus @ busted bus in boulder and meet up with tiffany later. Pay tiffany's bill @ the mechanic to get it out, load up the bus, and by this time, Steve Reed comes rollin up in a beautiful Blue / White Acupulco Thing. BS'ed a while with Steve, rode in the thing up to wally world to buy (rent) some magnetic trailer lights, as we had forgotten ours. Thanks Steve for the ride in that beautiful VW! Hooked up the bus and made sure it was on the trailer as tight as could be, and said our goodbyes, as we had a long drive back to CO. All went well until about grinell, Ks, where if you remember my trip back from BBBB 2 years ago, is where my '79 blew up the engine... coincidence, I think not. We went over a particularly rough stretch of road, and the bus jerked to the right and all sorts of debris was flying off. We pulled over and found that the right rear tire on the bus had de-laminated. It was literally "throwing gators" and about 30 seconds away of a blow out. The place we pulled over just happened to be a mechanic's shop, and after rounding off the lugnuts that havent been removed in 20 years, we had to employ the services of the mechanic w/ impact wrench to loosten the lugnuts, not to mention the bottle jack he let us borrow because we had forgotten ours. Pulled the tire off and placed the "spare" tire on the drum. The spare looked original as it was a polyester sidewall bias ply with about 30 years worth of dry rot on it. Now the smart thing to do would have been to pull the tire off the front of the bus, which was up on the dolly, put the spare there, and take the front tire and put it on the back. Well I dont claim to be the smartest cookie in the world, plus the bus was parked uphill, and to unload it, change the tire, and load it back up would have been a gigantic PITA, we just did things the easy way. Well, that lasted about 60 miles, when the spare did the same thing as the first tire, and had the tread disintigrate. First, we thought we'd just roll the bus off the trailer and flip it around, putting the back on the dolly and tying the wheel off so it wouldnt move. Soggy spring plates and short trailer ramps laughed @ us on that one, so on to plan B... Fortunately we were in burlington, Co, a town of a little bit of size, and they had a Napa that was open. Remember that bottle Jack I had mentioned earlier? yeah, well we had to break down and buy another jack, roll the bus off the trailer, take the tire off the front and put it off the back, as was the previously mentioned "smart thing to do"... Took the hubcap off the front tire and whaddya know...the lugnuts WONT come off for love or money. After about an hour of hitting them with wd-40 and smacking them with a cold chisel, they finally broke loose, and I broke my spiffy hazet lug wrench that I got from Richard and Dawn @ Jerome last year... have to get me another one now... Changed out the front and rear right side tires, put the bus back off the trailer, chained it down, made sure things were good and tight, and off we went. All went smoothly until we stopped to get gas outside of Denver. Pulled into the gas station and watched the passenger side front tire roll off of the trailer and fall down infront of the dolly. This, remarkably, is the 2nd time that I've had a vw do that on the dolly when pulling into a gas station. We determined that the tire that had lost the tread was leaking air and gradually losing air pressure, causing the ratchet strap to become loose and allowing the tire to roll forward. (this is the part of the story where it came in handy that I'm 6'3" and a cornfed nebraska boy) Dad rolled the truck forward while I put the bus in gear, pulled the e brake, and literally lifted up on the passenger front corner of the bus. Got it back onto the trailer after giving myself a mild hernia, sinched it back down, and hit the road again. Pulled into busted bus' parking lot at around 10pm. Rolled the bus off the trailer, pushed it into a parking space, gave Tiffany, who had met us there the keys, said our goodbyes, and took off. Rolled into home around 11:30 after dealing with night construction traffic on I-25. Unhooked the trailer, went inside, took a shower and went to bed. Another roadtrip from hell. I'm begining to collect those...

Dawn
PLF VW
Yes the moral of the story is.......... 18 wheelers and small vw buses do not mix. At approximately 5am this morning we found that fact out for ourselves. So here is how it starts, the whole weekend went well, good, and even great, the usuall suspects and great vw's. The only problem all weekend was Richards Clutch on the container van that we thought was fixed after the christmas tree island repair session, but it as not. We planned to hit the beach on monday so on sunday night we spent the night at our friend gregs house. Then on monday we hung out with another friend and checked out some very awsome vw buses again. But getting later into the afternoon we knew we had get going to get home in time to get Richard on his plane to germany. So off we went. All was fine untill later that evening when Richards clutch went out. No problem I made sure I had a tow and my tow hitch, and extra wire for lights, we hooked up in Indio and we were ready to go after a little adjustment to the front end alignment. I started the night with our friend as a co piolet and talia robert and richard all camping in the back. After I got tired we switched drives to richard and then to our friend and back a forth a bit thru the evenening with plenty of time to get home. Then all I know is that I am woken up in the back bed of the high roof while sliding on its side hoping that we would just not flip over? We didnt and I was very glad for that. I was on top of talia attempting to wake here up and find robert. I heard out friend say he had robert and he was ok and safe so I had to figure out how to get out. Soon I heard our friend and richard outside and heard richard say the bus was on fire and we had to go out thru the front. If any of you know how full the bus was it was a little harder than that. All I could see was a small gap where the light and smoke and soon fire was and feel talia under me. I attempted to wake her up and get off of her in the confined space I was in and I had no idea where in the bus I was. Finally talia came too and sat up, I told here we needed to get out of the bus thru the front somehow but I could not move anything around me and about this time I was getting scared and all because the fire was right there and the flames were filling up the small gap I had to see out of, which ended up being the back window. Talia all of a suden sat up and like wonder woman pushed all the boxed off of us and scooted out thru a hole. I followed and soon found myself crawling out of the front window that was broken. I was able to make it 50 feet from the bus and layed down. Then I looked behind me and saw the large semi with another car stuck to its nose? I decieded to go down tward the back of my bus were I saw other people and at this time knew we were all out and safe. I found Robert and just held on untill the ambulance got there. He was perfect, no scratches or brueses or anything. I had a huge bump on my head and Talia had a small cut on here eyebrow that they hospital super glued back together. Richard and out friend made it out to with no need to go to the hospital. So what happened you ask again. Well at around 5 am this morning a very fast semi came up behind us and ran into the back of the container van, or should I say ran over it? It was as I mentioned before attatched to us because we were towing it. The semi pushed the container van into the back of the high roof sending its rear into the air and dislodging the two buses apart. The container van stayed attatched to the front of the semi as it ran into the gaurd rails and burst into flames. The high roof was sent onto its side when the container van was ripped right off of the rear. We slid for a bit and the engine caught on fire. Richard and friend were secured in the front seat and our friend got out and was able to kick out the original brake away glass from europe in the highroof making an escape route for Richard and all of us. They were also able to put out the fire so Talia and I were able to get away. Talia and I went to the emergency room and were distcharged in a timly manner after waiting a bit for her exray and my catscan. We all got back together at the hospital to go out and rent a rental car and pull the important stuff out of the high roof and make it back to Phoenix just in time to catch the plane to germany. I do mean just in time, our friends were calling us as the plane was boarding trying to hold his seat and had he been one minute later he would have been sitting here right next to me. We are all a bit shooken up and some of us have markes to show for it but we all got out in plenty of time and that is all that really maters. The truck driver has insurance and all should work out fine I hope. The container van is in about 4 pieces in a tow yard out near the CA AZ boarder and is nothing more that some of the top frame and a totally smasched in front nose, that if you can imagine is what did the rear damage to the high roof. The highroof is also out that way and later on this week I will attempt to retrieve both of them back here to Phoenix. All of richards tools, swap meet finds, nos parts, my new racks, most of my PLF t-shirts and our friends most personal belonging went up into flames in the container van. Were were able to find and salvage most everything in the high roof, only missing a few pieces so far like Talias glasses. I found my camera, rayban sunglasses, my litterature I had taken to show a few people and most of my more valued things I went looking for. Several things are still unacounted for and we have not really had a chance to view the totall loss, we just wanted to make it home. I will go look along the highway on my way back to see what else I can find, Richard found some of his nos parts just laying about, some good, most not. But none the less, the most important things were alllllll safe and sound.

05/22/03 thayer What does it matter what Jerry does with his vehicles. I've known Jerry for a long time and know he wouldnt misrepresent himself in any way.

I Dont know for sure, but maybe Jerry is looking to trade down plus some money to help with Medical expenses.
04/30/03 Clem Jerry,
Isn't this like the 5th or 6th bus you have bought only to resell? I don't care about re-sellers who are up front about it, but all along you have always said you weren't trying to turn a bus. You say your selling due to illness but you are open for trades, what kind of trades would your sickness deem appropriate?
