I don't want to hear complaints about distances! For the OCTO barndoor reunion in California, plenty of buses were driven more than a thousand miles (2200 km) to attend the show. My lovely bride and I drove a barndoor with less than 20 miles on a new engine 1200 miles right to the show from Washington State (thanks Greg and Clara). |
Correct! And I even took the plane from the EU to check it all out! |
And I'm planning on doing the same for your event. Looking forward to seeing the record broken! |
Awesome, great to read that J.
There is already a lot of planning and organising going on!
There will be a cruise from the UK including Barndoors and other Vintage VWs!
And we will welcome visitors and cars from Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Norway, Denmark, France and visitors from the USA! Will you be there as well!?
More history: Amsterdamseweg 21-23, Isselt, Amersfoort (NL) back in 1955. Automobielbedrijf Pon's warehouse, with Wijnand Pon (2nd from left).
Amazing, look at all this sheetmetal! I wish this was all still there, don't you...?! - www.BenPon.nl

That's incredible!
But are you sure it's not Gerson's warehouse?
By the way if anyone would like to try out a barndoor meet this year (with record attemp) to prepare themselves for the Pon meet
Check out this British meet.

It's been located right by the ferry's and Chunnel to help all you guys from Europe attend. I believe Neils involved in this one too.
And it's free entry for BDs!!! |

Thanks Johnny, if you can be sure to come over to Amersfoort in 2014 buddy! |
If I can swing it? I will come and make sure the beer keg is functioning properly All the European shows are cool to attend. You don't have to wake up before the The roosters and leave mid afternoon. That’s the beauty. And I’d like to hang out with you guys and have Air Vin teach me how to say properly in Dutch …… There are 99 beautiful water canals in Amsterdam OKAY |
