… is almost there.

Nevertheless a part of BBT is making “BBT travels” reports from the other side of planet earth, preparation to the BBT Convoy to Hessisch Oldendorf 2013 continues.

The BBT Convoy badge design is ready and a proof print will be available very soon. Flyers are being print, shirts and merchandising are on its way. The BBT collection cars which will participate to the convoy are getting a final check-up, catering… There’s way to much to list.

This means we have to think about closing the registration so we will be able to see how many enthusiast will be with us to celebrate 25 years BBT and participate to the BBT Convoy.
The date for registration closing is the 4th of June @ Midnight.

So, if you want to participate to the BBT Convoy and aren’t yet registered… Don’t hesitate any longer and register before it’s to late!

Leaving the south of California for what it was I drove up to San Luis Obispo, had two more boring meetings, but yesterday morning I continued my way to Los Osos, to see Go Westy..

The road up from San Luis Obispo is beautiful up to the coast… this is the California I love….

Welcome to Go Westy!

Really the real source for all of your Vanagon needs, their inventory is second to none! They’re good BBT customers too!

Spending a little more time like it should (thanks for hospitality Shawn , it was really wonderful!) I was kind a late to drive  further North of Carmel to see my friend Mike (owner of the beautiful museum I featured yesterday… I called and asked if we could change to a late lunch? The sky was steel blue and I wanted to drive Highway nr 1, extreme beautiful along the pacific when there’s no fog…. Mike and his wife Barbara understood completely and agreed for late lunch….. Yes!…… The drive was on, 3 hours of nothing then beautiful nature! here we go!

The Pacific ocean, the other side of the European world…..
