Quote from: Otto Puzzell on February 10, 2011, 02:45:20 AM
I know three of them off the bat, but will they last?

Glad you like them guys.
Something tells me neither the Rookies nor the Experts are going to get all of these, so the Pro's will get a chance.
However, Otto, I think I know which ones you know and I would bet my bottom dollar they are the ones that go first!

I guess I couldn't have been more wrong..
I hadn't reckoned with pguillem and Wendax!

So all that's left are:

Bus 7:   Bodybuilder for 1 point
Bus 24: Model and date (1 point) and bodybuilder (1 point)
Bus 30: Chassis/engine maker, model and date (1 point) and bodybuilder (1 point)
Bus 33: Bodybuilder for 1 point

That's 6 points left, but if anyone can supply further relevant information that I don't have about ones that are already solved but with only 1 point awarded there could always be more discretionary points going!

No, I'm afraid they didn't do this one.

Some more info on #19:
The Cyclops bus was built by the construction department of Paramount Pictures. They started with two International trucks in order to build two 55-feet bus parts that could be driven to each shooting location and be bolted together to form the Big Bus. There is a "Bus World" article on the web with a lot of pictures of the construction and the two separate bus parts.
