This was an interesting vehicle, quite the piece, open exhaust, inlets all proud, some custom welded steering components and suspension. Fantastic seating arrangement – looked like some sort of tractor seat, barbed wire roofing, amazing.

And here is our very own Dragbus nestled inbetween some american muscle

A really cool VW bus show that is held every year in downtown Charlotte, just outside the Panthers stadium. Approximately 50 buses turned up this year which was down from last year – we all blamed the forecast rain. The weather held off for a few hours but then.. well.. we all got wet.

The Irish bar / pub was open this year, however with a rather poor selection of draft beers – Guiness and Bass – and the indignity of drinking it from a plastic cup it was sort of – average.

As always some really cool buses turned up – from early barndoors, a Binz doublecab, singlecabs, bay windows, all with happy proud owners. I think the earliest bus we saw was a barndoor panel and the latest was a 77 westy. It all got started at about 8am, a warm welcome by the hosts Monkeynut, Brian and Jake making everyone welcome and pointing them to their spots.

Check out the trophies Monkeynut had – all set out in an armchair – yeah. Go to the gallery for the big pictures of this and all the buses in all their glory.
