Just ran into a little mini gathering of VW guys. Figured I would stop and say "Hi", since hey, I have a VW motor. Never thought I would have to play down the Porsche aspect of my car. Check out the vintage wide bolt pattern fuchs knockoffs on the bus.

Don't feel bad.

Around SoCal & CA in general - the air-cooled VW types are worse than the NARPy Porsche types ever were - when it comes to later waterboxer & water cooled VWs like our `88 Westy! Talk about noses in the air!

Looks like a fun little gathering though, once they got by the "P" part.

The Bughaus is closed on Sundays, but the local dub crown uses the parking lot for gatherings. One day I drive by and see about 2 dozen bugs and buses in the front so I stopped. About half welcomed me and wanted a ride. The other half snubbed me. Not much different from my first musr with over 30 914s

I like the "Taxi" placard with the visor on the Van.

Looks like its got jumbo Tach and a custom looped bumper.

Is that one of those Bumpers where the loops fold down forming a rack for a bicycle?

Aftermarket hurst bumper, but they repop them. Fronts are commonly seen, rears, not so much.

Very cool!

I've never considered my 914 as a Porsche, but more as a VW

Yep. And its interesting who you get thumbs up from when on the road.

Yep, I've heard the same thing from both the NARP and NARVW asswipes.

All VW and Porsche snipping aside the place where the pics were taken might be a great cars and coffee place. The location Lincoln Square, where Redwood road hits HWY 13 in Oakland. Plenty of parking on a sunday morning, coffee shop, pizza place, burger joint, all right there. Not thinking a VW or P-car thing. All cars, as long as you are a gear head.

Maybe some of us that have connections to other make/marque groups can start reaching out and make this happen!

You know some of those bus's are going for 914-6 prices. Just a thought.

Can my friend take his 924 to an Audi meet?

Just call it a type 47.
