I used to attribute it to the cost of sub 68 buses and the fact that owning a roached out rust bucket that could only move under the assistance of a tow bar was the problem, but clearly not given the seemly growing attendance of this event. Clearly the well trafficked and lots of space and amenities of the new location helps with drawing and supporting the growing attendances.

What are the perks of those other sites vs using the samba? Not important but I guess that’s the miss for me.

Could be a generational thing. I find far more poor information on Facebook, The Samba is the place for good info. But then again I'm a borderline old fart.
As far as Bulli, word of mouth and the reputation of the event will keep it going strong for years to come. I wouldn't worry about lack of communication here.

It's an event that I know a lot of the people in my circle look forward to every year. I see when the date of the show is and then wait with anticipation. Well said Babysnakes.

Gondiwindi, sorry, not fully understanding the question. If there is any missing information in the initial post I'll be glad to edit and re-post. I tried to be as through as possible. We have utilized Facebook and IG but word of mouth and the sharing of a great weekend together has always carried us through. If your looking for corporate advertising for this split bus gathering there is none. Its simply bus owners, vendors, friends and family (Even the four legged kind) having a great time. Call me directly if I can help. Thanks, RK

No. Nothing strategic or anything like that, it's just like snakes says. I can't stand those other forums or sites. In prior years these pages were like 30-40 deep for this show but I guess that it's the sign of the times. I spend so much time telling my kids to get their asses off FB, instagram and Snap Chat so that could be what's driving my point.

Looking forward to the show.

I've pretty much given up on Facebook, etc. I'm gonna start getting back to TheSamba. Posted some pix of my horrible, wet, cold, misty, rainy trip from South Jersey. Rained until I reached the state line of the Sunshine State!

Here is a shot from South of Savannah this morning:

It's actually a real Polaroid, new film from Polaroid Originals.

Here's my best Polaroid from the show. Salute to our Veterans from Robert Kennedy on Joe Monds Cherry Picker V90:

Another fantastic BB. Perfect weather, well attended, a ton of buses never seen before and a perfect host by the QSL restaurant.

Couldn't have been better for me and my family that attended. Nice job to everyone that puts this on. Your efforts are really appreciated.

Great show again with plenty of split buses. The non-split bus parking was overflowing with cool VWs.

Less TheSamba and more Instagram and Facebook going on.

See y'all Saturday (friday, I'll be at the host hotel)

Cool


If there's an official Instagram tag, I'll add a link to the start of this thread.
It looks like it might be this so I added it, along with some other links to photos here and the video that was posted.
