Toyota Enthusiast, Ben van Eeuwijk of the Netherlands

Our friend Ben will join us all the way from the Netherlands on May 20th in Long Beach California! Ben is a huge Toyota fan and is traveling to the US to hang out with all the other Toyota enthusiasts. Though we wish he could bring all his beautiful Toyotas shown below, we are at least happy he will be at AllToyota Fest in person! Here are a few of his current Toyotas – wow what a collection!! 🤩

See you May 20th at Marina Green Park in Long Beach, California!!
