[Guest]

[quote name='knarfage' post='65231' date='Jan 6 2007, 18:19 ']I should have put my Crown in this group originally but by accident put it in with the other apparatus thread, rookie mistake.



But here is some pics on the Crown taken today while we had it out for a run and taken in a bay and on the apron thanks to the officers and firefighters of Oldsmar FD. They were great to be around and we chatted quite a bit. One of the firemen lived in California for some time and remembers Crowns. It was a great day for pics.



Here is some info on the Crown.

** Thanks to the Carmel FD and Crown Firecoach Enthusiasts for copies of spec

PS: I will attach one pic first, see how the resolution is, and then attach a couple others, when I post pics to this group they tend to come out huge, and just recently figured out how to downsize them.
