The blue 88 Wolfsburg 911 van belongs to Barry.
He'll be at the Aug show as part of the staff.
Its an amazing van.
The other real lowered vanagon belonged to a young canadian kid who talked a
mile a minute and had a great ride. Hella h4's, metal wrap around south
african bumpers,
porsche 17 in rims, and a non vanagon silver paint job.
Great show. The 74 doulble cab firetruck was amazing.
