Hello & welcome to B.L.T.N. “Better Late Than Never” We are a “Late” model air-cooled club located in San Jose, Ca. We held our first meeting on April 18th 2002 so as you can see we are a really young club. Our mission is to promote, restore & enjoy “Late” model air-cooled vehicles. You know, the ones that every one wants to turn their nose up at but secretly peeks at through the corner of their eye. Well, we own them & WE LOVE THEM..!!

Feel free to look around. You will find a lot of very good-looking cars here. If you find yourself in San Jose come join us at our weekly meeting. We gather every Thursday night ( around 7:30 ) at the “Barefoot Coffee Roasters", 5237 Stevens Creek Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95051.” ( at Lawrence ) All who are interested in Air-Cooled Volkswagens are welcome..!! So bring out your Dub, regardless of what year or model you drive. Our only requirement is that you bring a good attitude :-)
