    2015, Gathering of Friends, SLO

    Took off for San Luis Obispo, this past Sunday, to attend The Gathering of Friends IX Concours de Elegance

    Haven't gone to many car shows this year. Kinda busy. Kinda far away --- from everything. And kinda broke. Not planning on going to any of the Monterey stuff --- Werks, the auctions, Pebble, etc. Even Rennsport's a bit of a stretch. . .


    But this Little Show? --- ~2.5 hrs N of Simi Valley = perfect day-trip . . .

    . . . and a perfect opportunity to run the car --- yer basic Two-fer



    Early start = ~4:30 after tanking-up

    Sunday AM transit. Light law-enforcement + ditto traffic = 170 mi/275 km/2 hrs give-or-take



    (Why I drive a Porsche . . .)

    Looked like some cars were already parked-up on the display grounds --- organizers', I figured? . . . because things were still getting set-up when I got there. Registration was usually done by mail, but . . . I wasn't sure I was going --- 'till I was, so . . . I paid (by check) @the venue. Took a coupla minutes

    V easy/friendly/low-key = My Kinda Show

    2nd in line

    Pretty-much spotless/perfect. Too bad This Entrant didn't leave the windows down. Interiors on these cars can be a treat

    Vintage Camper --- w/ vintage camping stuff . . .

    This is Brian's VW crew-cab. The front bumper is actually a replika, as there were only a few sets of these bumpers made originally, sometime in the '50s. Company was called Hurst-Campbell, back then --- also Hurst ANCO . . . + they made all kindsa nerf bars for VWs + such . . . before the guy got all-kindsa-distracted by shifters+etc

    Brian also brought along some vintage camping equip't his Father-in-law collected over the years --- including a stove, folding picnic table, lamps . . . a two-man saw (!) And for atmosphere --- a welded-up steershead the F-i-L made in his HS shop class (!) . . . to hang over whatever

    Interior outfitted w/ two little hammers --- over the two upper/outer-corners of the windshield. Look like they're made for breaking glass?
