Oh sweet Jesus, it was too funny. Here’s the set-up. My wife’s uncle lives on a golf course. (European Dopers may not know how this is because of limited land, but if you do, chime in)
I’m talking the extemly short bus. I want to use it as the golf cart.
Of course, I’d drive it around town, too. The Goddamn thing had dual tires on the drive shaft! I stand before you right at this second and tell you, I was crying from laughing so hard. I want this damn thing.
To the question, where can I buy one? I know they exist, the thing wasn’t CGI in the movie. I really, really, really want one. I assume it was custom made, but what company? Forget cost, I can afford one. Where do I start to look?
Oh yeah, how did they find Lloyd’s character? That was a dead-on Jim Carrey look-alike. In look, speech and mannerisms. Amazing.
Anyway, thanks for any help. I really want that bus!
OK, maybe it’s too new a movie. (grammer police?) I watched it on DirectTV, but will buy it. I know there is a way to contact the director/studio/distributor and I could ask them, but I don’t know the three. Please, I really want that bus
My guess was, they custom-built it off an existing platform. It’s hard to tell what it is (mail truck? largeish jeep?), but its probably built in the same way that “replica” cars are (where you get what looks like a Ferrari, but it’s built on some inexpensive frame with lookalike sheet metal).
