Since the Tweeks / Mid America Porsche only swap meet is DOA do you think there would be a need for Porsche only swap meet closer to Chicago? I was talking with a fellow club member here a little while ago about this. I always enjoyed going to Tweeks back in the day just to see what was there.

I don't have a location for this BUT..... maybe I could working something out with The Tire Rack over in South Bend Indiana or some place closer in Illinois?

Maybe I'm nuts, but I think this could turn into something real nice?

Chicago Region PCA has had some swap meets in the past, but they never were very large. I would think if anyone would organize a swap meet, you would almost have to get the 356 and PCA crowds involved to get enough people to make it really interesting.

With enough publicity, it could be a hit. I also miss the Tweeks Swap Meet.
