USA Fall trip; OCTO was great!!

Saturday I attended a packed OCTO meet, hereby a little review! OCTO is a VW show strictly for VW split window buses, and its crowded!

5.00 am, even at 7-Eleven its still quiet, but hey they’re open, always, 24 hrs, and their coffee ain’t that bad!

Very busy line up, gates open at 6.00am! 

Beautiful Palm Green sand green, yammie! What a start for the day!

More nice buses, all on their own!

How about this real eighties monster???? This one is for You Pascal!

First paint Deluxe (or Samba as we call them in Europe) the real way to go now!

Now that’s what we call a Long Board hanging on a Roofrack!

Always good to see BBT Sprints @ the swap!

My personal pick of the day…

Panelvan with skylights and ragtop… gives a top chop kind a effect…

oh yes, we  do like Westfalia’s!

Small kids there own bus! cool huh? And long time BBT buddy Shawn from vintage parts fame on the back ground!

Patina baby, oh yeah, its Sunday after all!

more Deluxe patina!

king of cool in busland!

Less is more,  just bone stock, sometimes is just the best!
The gang of Eddy and Dave’s garage for this edition… including yours truly!

Crazy Barndoor panel in the back ground of a Ubercool vintage bike….

Turkisch westy, now how cool is that?

Or do You prefer a pop top?

Shin, from Let’s Play VW Magazine always at work!

Cool deluxe, watch out it can eat You!

The lunch right after the show was hosted by Eddy from Eddy and Dave’s garage, in Orange California, Eddy is a real close friend of BBT and especially me in particular….  as part of his crew I was invited… best Mexican food in California I ever had, thanks Eddy!

and here Eddy goes in his immaculate Blue Highroof!

The after party @ Charlie Hammill always draw a crowd on its own! Charlie open his doors from his crazy bus collection… he was one of the guys I visited at my very first trip to California, a mere 25 years ago! So yes we go back quite a while!

Ok Bob, go to bed now, tomorrow (Sunday) there is no less as  three car shows on the agenda’s! Only in California dude! Stay tuned, i keep writing!
