Day 23. Using the SIIa as my DD...

[Iron Boots]

Today was my 23'rd day of driving our 1969 Series IIa Bugey Rover as my daily driver....

Aside from cooking an ignition switch, everything has been super...

Grant (Business partner ergo 1/2 owner of the truck...) bet me that I couldn't drive it for a month straight. It doesn't get more basic than this....non-synchro 1'st and 2'nd, 81hp, no sound deadening...the heat rocks though!!

81 hp, awesome! That beats the hell out of the 62 in my Sammy. That sure is a nice looking truck. I'm jealous.

RJ, nice looking bugeye. I'm looking for replacement dash vents for the heater in a IIa. You's look new, have you replaced them? Where'd you get them?

...or the beastly 68hp in the 110

All around a great rig, but when we got it off the hauler we were astonished at the wiring....the guy who we bought it from was evidently Lucas's retarded-inbred-hillbilly brother. Wiring aside the rig is sweet and I LOVE driving it....

Not sure about the vents...they were there when we got the rig, but there are a TON of NEW/NOS parts on the thing....the only thing it needs is for me to inish the wiring and paint the driver side panels

Parabolics are neat...

I must say the little Weber carb is astonishing...in the nastiest cold/weather, it starts 1'st key...better than my RRC LOL!!

My wife and I were out all day...I was with a buddy and she had the RRC and it's been snowing all day. Just got back to the condo and Jesse had plowed the Series in...3' mini-snow banks all around it LOL!!!

Let me know when you get to 6 years. I had a 1968 IIA DD from 1996-2002. In 2001 I converted it to a diesel so it was even slower as a DDer!!!

Wow!!! Luxury! My Airportable, the Anitchrist, was my daily driver from '86 when I bought it to '97. From VT to VA to OH to VT to OH to WI. Topless from OH to WI.
