Mike wanted to get ideas on how to restore a bus, I wanted to hug a round shiny one. So we went to the 2009 Niello VW Ranch Run & Car Show this Sunday. The show was all about quirky-old-slow-round-puttputputputtt cars, and it included an incredible range of classic VW cars – Bugs, Buses, Karmann Ghias, even a hybrid water-land vehicle called The Thing.
Since the show took place north of Sacramento, we ended up missing the “Ranch Run” part of it – where all the show cars met up early in the morning at the Niello VW dealership and slowly caravan their way up to Niello Ranch to park. When we got there, they were already doing the award ceremony, which was a great opportunity for me to sneak away to get some great shots on some of the beauties there.
