[@tomdunigan234]

Mike. Thanks for the tour through the show. An amazing number of buses and cabs. Probably more than in all of New England.

[@jeffbannon1345]

Hallelujah on what an amazing community the vw community is! So helpful!

[@nealchristensen1793]

Sad because there are so call VW shops or business's that will remove original stuff off people Buses like an original rear end reduction gears off a 1963 panel they are located in Stockton Ca. Beware ! Great video !Thank you .

[@charleslawrence7194]

Really dig the wild mirrors on the older rigs. I think its amazing that so many old buses can still be found. Thanks for covering all the events Mike. We really enjoy them.

[@Mikefngarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@hobbyrusassistant1369]

[@gabe5946]

Good stuff!! Looks like it got cold out in California 😮? I thought it was 72. Degrees year round lol, have fun!!

[@rscruiser3533]

I think you do a real good job on videoing -- You inject on what you see -- like me I had no idea Buses were SO popular - explaining the different models -- the doors -- windows -- rare models -I like how you take the shots So -- Thanks Again --Rodney

[@Mikefngarage]

Thank you very much!

[@HERBYWALLACE3]

Remember those Honda trail 70s, love it

[@FRANCISCOSANCHEZ-ly2mq]

hello good afternoon, as always the video is excellent... That model that can be seen at minute 5:29 of the video is similar to the one that inspired Ben Pon to sketch the kombi... 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@stephenhenion8304]

Without sounding like a moron, it kind of irritates me when I see paint wet sanded poorly to add aging. I get an original condition bus. But Fake original leaves me wondering. Thanks Mike, you're the go to guy on VDUBS!!...

[@Mikefngarage]

Yea I like the REAL patina preserved original paint. Sometimes touchups are ok and blended to match but just ratted out and calling it patina. just does not work for me either.

[@jimmyjames6267]

That's a camper, not an ambulance!

[@bystrom70030]

Y 19726 is from my home county in the middel of Sweden. Wondering how it ended up there? 🤔 It is the Swedish military that bought it. Then it probably ended up on someones farm until it was "discoverd" ✊

[@mischafellner8943]

Never seen before 1:50.

[@Mikefngarage]

Yea that was a weird bus plus the mirrors they were really weird. Maybe some sort of postal bus I have no idea

[@skinnerclassicsvw9849]

No Love Mike. You missed a row or two 🤷‍♂️ but overall, I enjoyed the video.

[@Mikefngarage]

yea I got bounced around. missed several busses. then when I got back there they had left.

[@jimmywilkinson9190]

Honolulu ? musta took the freeway

[@hded06]

Tfti

[@cwradio4571]

What was the average price of those for sale?

[@Mikefngarage]

I didnt ask for any of the prices and nothing was posted. Most busses that run and drive are at least 20k. As long as they are not so rusty that they should not be driving.
