check this out, I had the overall low score at puyallup. I had less than half of the points of the next closest bus in the show. 23 out of a possible 100 points. I totally lost that show. I wonder why. Wink they misspelled my name also.

I think Greg scared off the judges so they didn't have enough time to evaluate your bus properly. Next time leave him at the airport you'll gain another 50 points easy.

They deducted because of the ragtop.

It's only fair

Rizzag has it right.

Lind,
I'd be willing to take that last place POS off your hands, you'd have to give me a good price since it only scored a 23. Wink

I am totally proud of it. the next lowest score I could find for in any of their shows was 34. I got that dude beat by 10 points. what I really liked was that half a dozen people came up to me throughout the day and told me that my bus was their favorite VW in the show. lots of people were dumbfounded. 70 show cars and then my bus. in a class by its self. I'm sure that I drove at least 200 miles further to get there than any other car in the show. I will drive it to the fall meet and actually have it in a little more show-worthy form. maybe I can double my score. LOL.

that probably isn't that far off. I think that I would have had a higher score if I hadn't let greg load a ton of parts into the bus. the funny thing is that loses you points at puyallup, but probably gains you points (or votes) at BYOB.

it was too loaded to see the welding on the inside, they must have checked for belly pans. those sneaky judges.

funny how my least valuable worst condition bus is my favorite. I would sooner give my '58 westy or '57 standard away than sell my '61. in fact it is the only vehicle I wouldn't ever sell (I know that you aren't serious)

Probably!! Smile Maybe they thought Adam owned your bus and they got freaked out by his sideburns. Wink
