A pretty big turnout for VW night, as well as several hundred Detroit rods. Saw my second barndoor ever. Waaay cooler than the restored one I saw at a car auction. Actually driven!

Sorry for the bus focus. I like buses.

Edit - just noticed my truck can just be seen in Pic #8. I never remember to get a good shot of my own truck anywhere...

Was the guy with the Barndoor Kombi with the Club worried it would get stolen?

This seems unlikely

The "Vintage NOS Club" was an in-joke among his friends, apparently. We discussed how having a stick shift was theft-prevention enough usually. I did tell him that at least in your neck of the woods I had heard of people dragging them off on a flatbed... or just tow straps!

There were a number of very nice cars there (and some interesting non-VWs) but the barndoor was the treat for me. I swear I saw one gussied up at Barrett-Jackson in early 2000s (this owner doubted that), but otherwise this is the only one I've seen in person - and it DROVE to the event.
