That could be fun. I scored a huge aluminum intercooler (perfect size for a 924/944) for $50 at the last one I went to.

I got a tach, a few models, some diecasts, and some misc Javelin pieces at the spring one this year, also the world's best 928 poster

Last year I got the Welds & BFG's that are on the Javelin.

I'm hoping the new fall meet is pretty good.

This is the first I have heard of the fall swap meet. I'm in, the spring one is always a good time.

Does that mean I can avoid crowds by going Sunday?

I suppose that also means avoiding first crack at all the neat stuff...

The spring PIR swap meet is hit-and-miss. I've gone on Saturday and Sunday multiple times. There's much better stuff on Saturday. It seems that a lot of vendors want to pack up and leave by lunch Sunday, which sucks. That said, I've scored my best deals at the end of Sunday for large items people don't want to haul home (wheels, scooter).

I went to the fall swap meet last year. It sucked. Like the Spring meet with way less stuff (and more rain) and people wanting good money for bad parts. Apparently that's because it was the zeroeth year, and this year is the first year...according to Mike...?

being an east coast transplant that is one thing I've missed since I moved....

even a crappy meet is better than no meet... kinda like a bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work...

The weekend of the 19th/20th, so weekend after next.

The weekend after that is the ChumpCar Race/Halloween party, everyone should drop by and trick or treat with the teams.

I haven't been to the fall swap meet, but I can vouch for the Halloween crapcan race weekend as a good time!

Doing ball joints, tie rod ends, and shocks on the van. It's the right thing to do with the unexpected blue sky... With the fresh trans, I'll be halfway to a new van

I don't know if I'll make it this weekend. I have yard and Porsche work to take care of.

On another note, apparently a set of wheels I traded somebody are bent. They didn't seem bent when I had them, but it wouldn't surprise me. I was going to look into having them straightened and I was looking for recommendations in the PNW?
