Thumbs up The Bus Movie

The Bus Movie | A documentary film by Damon Ristau

I went to the premiere in a movie theater (old school) last Monday.

Anyway, the parking lot(and then some) was full of mostly Syncro Vans .. the theater full of ahhh.. unique bunch. The movie got my thumbs-up. It was surprisingly well done.

Anyone else see it?

Haven't seen it yet. I'd like to; I just don't know if I'll get an opportunity. Hopefully, it will be on Netflix or some other easily accessible format some day.

I read The Drifters by Michener. A bunch of young people traveling Europe and Africa in a VW poptop.

Oh, heck yeah!

I loved the GoWesty T-shirt the guy was wearing and the shots from Synchro de Mayo (I think that was what it was).

I need to go over and check out movie theaters in Los Osos. I think I might have seen some California Central Coast shots in there.

Far out ! I'm never going to sell my Westy..even though it is only an '85 Wasserboxer.



Flieger, I too noticed that "Go Westy" shirt the guy in the movie was wearing.

Go Westy is cool !

The guy wearing the GoWesty T-shirt was Segis "Lucas" Valdez, founder of GoWesty. Before GoWesty, he restored Porsches in Redwood City with my brother-in-law. He's doing much better with his current gig.

Those other shots were either Syncro de Mayo, or Syncrofest at Hollister Hills. They also had some great shots of a GoWesty employee trip in Baja.
