On the Road in the BootBus: Our First Breakdown


		« Hot Writing Women, I mean \| Main \| So I decided to hitch back » June 12, 2002 Our First Breakdown I suppose we were kinding of expecting it, but we never knew when it might strike. Now we know. A day after Sean had completed the drive from Eugene to San Francisco, the BootBus has a problem. Sean's currently stuck in Corte Madera. He heard a pop when he was engaging the clutch and now he can't change gears. Sean actually pushed the bus to get to his appointment. Figuring that it's probably the clutch cable that needs replacing, Sean is going to have a crack at it himself. We've got the Idiot's guide by John Muir and I'll try and talk him through it over the phone. If that fails, we've got Tom the VW Guy on standby to guide us. Wish us luck.

Still in Corte Madera? Somewhere in Northern California? So am I. I wouldn't mind driving MY 1971 bus over and watch him struggle with the repair. I can set up a folding chair and relax while he works. Maybe I can peek into his ice chest and see what cold beverages he has saved for visitors.
