I'm still here tracking all the comments. Received several PM and I'm not ignoring them just don't know what were doing yet. Will check them all out may join more than one!

Quoting Mutt:
"PS: I was checking out your van @ Freeze Out.. I dig the right side doors!"

That was the courtesy of a John Deer tractor that decided to try and take my wife into a corn field with him. He crushed the passenger door and the front side door. Those were the only replacements I could find. If he would have asked nicely she probably would have joined him without a fuss...LOL.

Hello Aule,

if this is the Biff Burger with the BelAir on the roof, than it's good to hear, that they are still alive yay

I found them in 1993 during my first visit to Florida, as I read the newspaper in the morning. Their was a nice article, and so I searched and found the Burger. I was their at the evening, when the local Hot Rod Club meets, and had a nice chat with the president (at that time), since he knew about the streetrules in Germnay (was stationed over here for some time).

In 2006, I was again their and had also a great time.

Van clubs are like the vans themselves. You will find one that fits your wants and needs. Oftentimes they find you. You go to a run, park, grab a drink, and wander around. The people at the next site or across the road have a bunch of food on the grill, or chips and snacks, or a blender. Maybe they also own a Dodge similar to yours. Introductions, sharing, conversations, and an invite to a meeting follow.

You may or may not go to that meeting, but you see them again at another run. Recognition, more conversation, agree to meet and camp together at a future run. A friendship is formed, and you join their club.

Or, as in my case, a club found me. My ex and I went to a huge car show, saw a bunch of vans and a bunch of vanners having a lot of fun. We thought a van would be a cool way to travel and camp, so we bought one a couple months later. The next month, a guy walks into my work wearing a club jacket. We talked, he invited me to a meeting, I went, and the rest as they say, is history. That meeting was in Feb. 1974, and I have been a member of Midwest Vans Ltd. ever since.

You will find great people, make lifelong friends, and deal with some buttheads. That's life, so enjoy the ride. Welcome to vanning, and hope to meet you at a run soon! The Nationals are right up the road this year!

We have had more people join our club and became Vanners...we are a non smoking, illicit drug free club that drinks a lot on weekends....

As On The Road ( Howard ) says, go to an eVANT and look for a 2% fit...

To Goose, I don't think the BelAir is on the roof any more but I think its the same place.

I think so too. Sad that the BelAir is gone (was a 57), but a nice place anyway.
