Hey Buddy .......... like Lind mentioned ........ they are far enough apart to make all three events. I'd say making all three is more doable for you guys, European's. Not many Yanks with deep pockets, as Europe is expensive for us.

What are the dates of the ClassicS and OCTO in 2023? I'll have to plan my yearly road trip around them.

I'm already excited about this one! I'll probably bring my daughter and some other bus heads and make a week of it.

Don't miss it!

My '54 is in the middle of restoration. Was at the OCTO 10 years ago. Really hoping to bring it to this one.....but it's gonna be a close call getting it finished....

Well, lets keep our fingers crossed your Kombi makes it out. There are several projects in the works as well. See you there regardless.

I caught up with Ruben this past Pomona Swap meet and was pumped about the gathering. Here are a few shots of his ride. BTW - Ruben resides in Mexico.

I hope to make it down from Canada and join a few on the west coast to drive down, although maybe with or without my barndoor 😬

fuckin get to work dude!! that metalwork looks like a month of evenings and weekends :twisted:

I was thinking of bringing the bus but it would be on a trailer and likely only be the chassis. :lol:

Being that its a panel and with that window, kind of reminds me of a submarine. :D

working on bringing this '53 oddity to complete the full spectrum of barndoors on display in June '23, just hope to be able to make it past the entrance gate!

Thu Dec 22, 2022 11:08 am

It has my approval. I'm looking forward to parking it in the line up.
Can't wait to see it in person!

June 3rd?
So early in the month!
I was hoping to attend the Barndoor reunion in the Netherlands and then drive or tow my Baja Barndoor out West for the Octo Reunion. But they are only two weeks apart!
Decisions, decisions...
