Wanted to share with everyone the promotional video made by Shin Wantanabe of Hot VW's Magazine for the up coming OCTO BARNDOOR ROUNDUP come Saturday, June 3rd. This is just a glimpse of what to expect ...... awesome Buses, cool people and great sunny southern California weather. Hope to see you call come June.

Here’s some interesting information pertaining to last month’s OCTO event, Straight from Erik Koplien.
The official count of 342 early buses by first raffle. Surpassing even our best June event. The vendors were up with 105 in attendance. The normal average at any event is between 50-60. Spectators were also up at 1800 per ticket count. 1200-1500 is average. We had some international visitors as well. However with travel restrictions being what they are, we didn’t have as many. These are all OCTO records for sure.
Any of you guy’s who were out there saw this first hand. Also got to witness folks flipping out on Lind-O-Calrisian’s 1950 Panel
This shot was taken by Shin Wantanabe – HOT VW’S Fame.

WOW!!! |
Plan on attending February's OCTO .......... but arrive early  |
Hmmmmmm.....

That's for sure! It was bananas, but in a good way. I also ran into your Twin, West Coast Johnny Pickenez 
I'm sure come February's OCTO ..... it will be bananas as well. I don't see this plague lighting up anytime soon.
On a side note ......... just found out California is being SHUT DOWN as of tomorrow!!! Whatever that means!!??  |

Like I mentioned in my IG video posting ........ I was beyond shocked and super surprised when Beefcake and Lind-O-Calrisian rolled up to my drive way!!! It's not very often a 1950 Panel shows up at your crib  |
So all I had to do to bring this topic back to life was to drive an old bus a couple thousand miles?
Just wait to see how big things get before Hessich. It will be off the hook. |
Apparently so.
I hope all this plague thing cools off big time!! With all of this stay home stuff and no official events happening ......... the time leading towards HO21 will be INSANE!! It will keeping boiling until that weekend comes! Let's all keep our fingers crossed and if all goes well .... we'll all congregate at the greatest VW show on earth!! |

As the last person to post in this thread OVER THREE YEARS AGO!, I'm thrilled to see some bodacious Barndoor content here!
I'm so pissed that I missed out on the OCTO meet. Sounds like it was epic.
Your bus looks great, Lind. Drive that MoFo. |
Johnny Pickenez - you missed out BIG TIME!!! It was an EPIC OCTO!!! I'm going to make an effort and keep this thread going ..... do some more posting up in here. At least in here we really all know each other
