Unfortunately nothing is going on the day after? As far as I know. Though I do know the Bus Bros are having a camping event in Huntington Beach that weekend ..... so they/we will be at the beach as of Thursday thru Sunday.

Are you bringing one of your Barndoor's down??

Yes I am Johnny.
The plan right now is to bring the RHD Kombi.
I'll have it at OCTO for sure.
I might bring it to Prado the following weekend, before heading north.

Right on Todd!!! Is Krissi Hanukkah or my main man Bruce coming as well??

It would be cool if your RHD Single Cab shows up! But it will still be cool seeing all you east coast guys out here for a reunion.

Yes, Kris and I both are coming. Working on shipping options currently for both him and I. We will see. George was kind enough to offer to catch them for us. I’d love to show up in it. Although it’s not in its final livery. Bruce has been laying low.

I have been flat out on the VanDenBerg Electric bus. A lot to finish in the next couple weeks (no brakes, engine, interior… small stuff, but at least the 90% original paint looks cool :? ) I am still planning on driving down from Canada with a few others. Looking forward to the OCTO meet weekend!!

Looks great.

At least there is very little interior to deal with on a panelvan.

HURRY UP!!

Super bummed I’m not going to make it. The drive out for the last gathering was one of the best trips I’ve taken! Unfortunately, the Le Mans centenary Wins this year.
