That bus will be in brookline Ma this weekend
Stan (Spanky) Wohlfarth has arranged to have it dropped off for the day
this is his email about the event
To all,
The 21st annual Transporterfest/VW Day, sponsored by LiMBO, NEATO and
BSVWOC will take place on Sunday October 1 from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. Join
us for a fun-filled day of Volkswagens, old and new, shiny and rusty,
clean and oily, straight and dented (we like 'em all:). Last year we had
85 Volkswagens gather on the beautiful lawn at the Larz Anderson Auto
Museum in Brookline, MA (Boston, MA area) for a day of relaxed bus-ness.
$10 show vehicle admission fee includes two Museum admissions and dash
plaques to the first 100 participants. New parts vendor fee: $25, used
VW parts vendors: $10. We have a huge raffle at the end of the day with
lots of prizes for children and adults. We are planning to have an
informal campout on Saturday night at Canoe River campground in
Mansfield, MA (www.canoeriver.com). Please e-mail or call Stan if you
want to camp. Show pre-registration is not necessary, just show up on
the day of the show, rain or shine. For directions to the museum visit
www.mot.org or call 617-522-6547. For more show info, e-mail
stan.wohlfarth@bentleypublishers.com or call 508-651-3502, evenings 7 -
10 pm.
Attached is a flyer for this year's Transporterfest. Camping info is on
page 2, including directions. Please send me an e-mail if you would like
to camp with us. Eric Lindskog will be cooking his delicious bbq spare
ribs at the campout again. Cost is $15/rack, payable on Sat.
If you are just planning to come to the Sunday show then an e-mail reply
is not necessary, just show up. The show is rain or shine.
This year we will have a special '64 deluxe bus supplied by Volkswagen
and their Electronic Research Lab in California. The "Chameleon" bus is
completely electric powered and has a host of electronic gadgets that
have been tastefully added during it's restoration/customization. I'll
attach a few pictures of this bus from the Alt. Wheels event in Boston
last weekend.
