June 2023 will be the second barndoor gathering at OCTO. Everyone is invited.
My Tacayo Barndoor Mafia will be able to give you more info (all though he’s been on tour with Wu-Tang filling in for ODB; so he doesn’t come on this site as much). |
That would be a good one, I’ll try and make contact.

My Tocayo (Von Hansel) made mention of your thread and I spoke to Irv briefly about your ride, and a few others, while in Europe this past June. WOW ..... Is the first word that pops in my head!! Some of these rides that come out from Europe blow me away!! The effort and dedication is unreal. When I see builds like yours, I feel very spoiled and lucky to own what I own. Major props to you're dedication and drive ...... as well everyone who was involved.
You are more than invited to come out next year and join the festivities. The Barndoor Gathering will be held during the June OCTO event. It's usually on the first Saturday of the month. But I will look into a concrete date for everyone. Hope to see/meet you soon, regardless if your Bus doesn't make the trek or I'll eventually run into you overseas

This is actually the 3rd Barndoor Gathering Tocayo. And yes, everyone is invited. Regardless of owning or not owning a Barndoor.

Thankyou! It means so much to get feedback and opinions. Volksworld Magazine October 2022 has the full low down by Mark Walker and some beautiful pictures taken by Si Gray.
The 2022 season in the UK is at its end, it’s been an amazing year and great to finally show the bus. We managed to win awards at every show we attended, in fact there was only one that we didn’t get best in show.
There are however some bits I want to improve over the winter which we’ll keep secret for now 
Plans are in place for 2023 and showing it around Europe including Barndoor Gathering and Spa, the dream is still to take it to the US eventually. It’s hard work showing a vehicle and hats off to Irv and his team for all the “hard graft” as they call it. We have all been overwhelmed by the reception though so its all worth it.
The main man!
