I am stepping up to host a Northeast Show and Swap.

I propose March 25th.

There will be a barbeque and I want to encourage everyone to bring their stash of parts...

I will get at least two vendors to attend as well..maybe more...

Who wants to come.
It will be in Dunstable Massachusetts, just south of Nashua NH.

Kerosene and firewood baby...

Only when Im out there.

Sons car is almost done...gotta do brakes and final electrics today.

We have a pretty good vw show and swap in CT, but nothing good for just general aircooled...

It will be cool, I can host about 300 cars, so plenty of room.

Keep warm.

Sounds interesting Rich. I love swap meets. I'm loaded with parts from 4 cars. You've really got to spread the word beyond this board though. Not many teeners in these parts.
I'm in if you can get a crowd.

Rich: I'm in. Don't have too much stuff to bring, but do have a few parts left over. Hell, with any luck I may be driving that damn blue car I started working on a couple of years ago.

Posted by: sixerdon Dec 15 2005, 09:19 PM

Rich, The Pres of typ356ne lives near me. I'll give him a heads up. They have their winter meeting next month. PM me if you want to contact him.

Sonofabitch, thats the spirit. Gonna put a kerosene heater in the garage and go to work. Too damn cold to ride the bike. Just look at it and dream about spring.

Posted by: rhcb914 Dec 16 2005, 11:35 AM

Hey Rich sounds like a great idea! Count me in. I have a ton of parts to swap.

Posted by: mskala Dec 16 2005, 04:10 PM

It's a long way in the future to be able to say for sure, but I should
be coming if possible.

Posted by: wertygrog Dec 16 2005, 05:04 PM

I'll be there! More as a buyer/gawker than seller though!
I'll prob. have my licence/car restored by then!

Brent

Posted by: r_towle Dec 16 2005, 09:46 PM

Rich

Posted by: davec Dec 18 2005, 12:24 AM

Could be a very dumb question but is this still happening???

Posted by: Racer Chris Mar 23 2006, 08:17 PM

I have tons of stuff but no time to put it into the truck.

Posted by: elocke Mar 23 2006, 09:50 PM
