Update:
Pics/Videos start in this thread HERE
Another year older and deeper in debt.
Time to roll out your stock height Split Window buses for 70 miles or so of offroad adventure in the Pine Barrens of South Jersey.
Again we are exclusively Split Window, pre-68 buses, with two exceptions.
The Grandfathered: "vwpieces" Nick, and "noneed" Chris
All others, split buses only.
July 27, 2013, Saturday, Tabernacle, NJ.
Email me for directions to my place.
We roll at 10:00am sharp!
Please get to my place by 9:00 so we can wrangle the buses into order.
Camping space available on Friday and Saturday night.
Pulled Pork BBQ to follow the shenanigans.
Who's in?

this film exemplifies three important off road driving techniques. matt (driver) demonstrates "hand-over-hand" cornering techniques. nick (passenger) demonstrates proper finger grip with thumb stiffening on the "jesus bar". both driver and passenger show how to take the bumps without banging their heads on the inner roof of the bus by being "in sync" not only with the terrain but with each other.

the location of the FUBU-Q is not yet established yet. there has been suggestion that the location of it might be changed to someones house who wants to piss off his neighbors. if this is the case, the name of the FUBU-Q will be changed to the "FUQU-Q" _________________ Extravagant Lifestyle

I'm away at some corporate training; collared shirts, blazers, power point, sales strategy and all that BS. Currently on a break and just saw this thread. Total day changer. Yay! |

Plenty of room! The VW station wagon holds up to 9 passengers, according to the tech section of this website. _________________ Founder and Chairman Emeritus, ECMSAS

you should come too, bus or no bus. just keep in mind that you don't get an award for not bringing a bus if you don't own one. we don't want anyone getting upset or feeling left out at the awards ceremony. _________________ Extravagant Lifestyle
