With the liberalization of personalized license frames in Belgium, long time friend of da House Bart scored the real nice one…
The First European Barndoor gathering aka the Ben Pon show in Amersfoort The Netherlands is over…
Oh God did we had a blast!
Our little convoy, just some friends and our own cars… on the way up, short break…
Linda and me in our 1959 trusty Westy…:)
The bus with my name on couldn’t stay home… maiden euro drive, wowh! It handles so cool, co driver was my friend Buda, from Bandung, Indonesia… president of the split window club over there… special over for the occasion!
Nicely parked in the row of Barndoors, let the show begin (for us)
barndoors, barndoors, barndoors… over 75 in attendance… Rikki James and companions did a great job park them all…
nice….
Friend Dokke “in the works”… hey Mike is that You in the background?
some call it patina, hmmm a little too much for me, its a 51 deluxe, or shall we say “was”?
Barndoor deluxe 23 window samba rare? I’ve seen more deluxes as panelvans….:)
Friend of da House Jeroen, with girlfriend and… the barndoor he worked so hard for the last 7 years! he made it! Congrats Jeroen, nice ride!
Now this is what we call patina, just bitchin’! pure and unspoiled, keep your hands of this one!
and this we call “dust”, or lazy owner too tired to clean….LOL….:) looks very original… yammie! straight out of a barn? or out of storage, big difference….
Greek Dutch connection… for sure the prize for most bright color on a barndoor… almost pain to the eye… but Ubercool, friend Maurice striked again!
weird options? plenty…
so nice, even just to look at!
and off course, its all about friends… buddies from the former Bug A Roo galore, hey guys when its coming back?
“just” another one….
Behr scoop on the roof, we like that, yes sir… 2 of those please!
I love this line up…. look at all different heights….:) almost like music…:)
less is more… no rear bumper, original till early 53…. more beautiful…
the Lambretta bus…
its just a family thing….
Annelies,BBT Pascal and friend of the house Pak Wawan (from Jakarta Indonesia) came to watch schwimmwagen time… BBT david took pictures… Yours truly was…….
…… ah, surprise to everyone, BBT brought out there schwimmwagen too!
Family Schückenbömer… always nice to have a schwimm with friends…
playing in the water…. the adult way, but kids loved it too!…:)
side by side… almost romantic…:)
The cherry on the cake… 3 schwimmwagens on the water at the same time in Holland, must have been loooong time ago… I can’t remember… well, it was a Brit, a German and a Belgian, on Holland soils… or better in Holland waters….:) I think we can state easy the European unity is deep inside all of us… lets make this a Easter statement!
what a weekend, what an adventure… we came all back home without too many problems… so all set, almost ready for my next adventure, so stay tuned, the week is started… another adventure begins….
