Agreed!  Part of the problem, snobbery in the west, is that there are so
many buses, vw's in general. They have to limit the types of vehicles that
they allow in to camp for space reasons.  That is why the Kelley Park show
in April in San Jose, etc. limits the vw's to pre 1968 only! The OCTO shows
give preference to '67 & earlier, etc. I have only been to Bug Jam & the
Bulli Brigade in Florida, otherwise all my shows are in the west, so, I
should have qualified my gross generalization to those areas!



Happy busing to all vw's,

Tom-bus snobs are like bigots- we all are the same, only slightly different!
