To each his own...
I've got nothing against those cars……. But, It's called an "All VW" show for a reason….

Gotta agree with this. The event is titled Vacationland Volkswagen Association's 29th Annual ALL VW Car show (in caps ) I like those other cars as well but maybe the name should reflect that- maybe all German car show.

whatever, I'm coming anyway even if you add a Corvair class

I think they are trying to get young people to attend the show. Air-cooled VW's are not cheap cars anymore. :x

Maybe I'm not as much of a purist as most here on thesamba, but I say the more the merrier! Sure, it's different from the past, but I appreciate all cool cars nonetheless. :)

I had to leave early to meet the family. i had the 68 pearl white westy. Anyone know who placed in the 68-72 bus class? Thanks.

Sun Aug 26, 2018 2:10 pm

so there isn't one person that knows who placed in the 68 -73 bus class ? I sent a message to the woman that runs the show on their facebook page but haven't seen anything on there yet. usually the results gets posted for a show. iyts been almost a month now . I don't want to seem like a weirdo . I have been restoring this bus for 3 years and this is the first show and I has a class for 68 -73 which is cool. just wanted to know what people think of the restoration.

I remember you from when I had my 71 sportmobile bus back in the day. when das bulli haus had the highroof panel van with all the parts. I used to go to litchfiled with my buddy every year and camp down the road the night before. hopkington nh was allways a great show the guy with the mustache that ran it was awesome. I forget his name . again went the day before and camped out . one guy had a late model with dual 40 dellortos and we took a FAST ride to his house on time so my buddy could get some parts off him.

sorry about your dad .
ill see you at the show. keep bussing ,fez

Yep, that would be me. The guy w/ the mustache was Paul McCarthy, was Pres. of the N.H. club for a few years, Hopkinton was a great show !!
