okay so a couple buddies of mine were talking if we could take a trip to anywhere in the world and cost is no problem; where would you go that would have the highest concentration of undiscovered vws, ie bd buses, nos parts, really super rare-weird stuff?
if you have been out of the country and saw vws please share your other story.

There are still a lot of early dry dubs in the Oklahoma/NW Texas areas that are just grazing in the fields. So I would go there and spend some time scooping up some goodies.
