Well, I would wager that there are more VW buses in California than all of
the UK. If someone could do a West Coast meet, it will probably easily rival
if not trump the UK Vanfest. I'm just not sure how cohesive the VW bus
owners are here along the series lines. Most Splittie guys split off the Bay
guys. The Bay guys keep the Vanago gus at bay except for the early
aircooleds. Then there's the waterboxer contingent who don't give the
aircooled anything guys room to breath.

If someone wants to devote some time to get these guys to cross their
respective groups to form a larger whole, I'm sure a centralized West Coast
location can be identified easy enough. All it takes is time a money. Mike?
You're retired. Wanna take this on? We have the LiMBO guys on this list as
well. Jim? Not sure about the SOTO guys.
