The "All VW car show" in LaJolla today... about time LaJolla was the site of a car show!

this is the worst condition I've seen an Allstate one wheel trailer in, but it sure looks right at home behind the rusty bug 

  Cool method of hanging the license plate

 Harlequin Edition, yeah, who knew?

 great helmet

 Having a book made of your restoration, that is cool!

 this ashtray reminds me of the funny labels, the "Das Schmokegedunka " etc pidgen German http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/humor-found-in-volkswagens-pidgin.html

 this is funny... quite the sales pitch.

thanks to the organizer, Howard Singer,  for kick starting car shows in LaJolla, and to P.A. for spreading the word and letting people know it was happening

Stuff that caught my eye at the Irvine Bugorama this past weekend

I've posted about In and Out coming to events before http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/10/in-and-out-burger-mobile-restaurant-was.html

Didn't know what this was, but Steve came through again! It's a Mexican-built Volkswagen "Hormiga" (means ant). They are known in Germany as the EA489 Basistransporter.

Nice clever way of mounting the portable Coleman stove
Lots of vintage coolers in the swap meet area



Above is a very early bug deflector, below is a tag I've never seen before... don't know what it's about. Maybe a customizer? Or a dealership?


Lots of matched luggage sets

Interesting and cool top
