Since this is one event that I look forward to every year, and it keeps me from jumping off a bridge, I thought I would get some interest started early as Easter is on the 5th this year and will not be an issue for the swap. This coming year should be HUGE. Who is planning on going?

"This coming year should be HUGE." "Huge"? I'm under the impression all years are pretty much the same size. Am I wrong?

The Cap'n

Yup. Years with Easter on that weekend tend to be smaller due to family taking people away from the important things. On years where Easter is not on the same weekend, it is up to twice the size or even larger. Also, the AX that takes place on Sun is more fun when Sun is not Easter. Although, last years Easter AX was well attended.

Actually, leap years are one day longer than regular ones, a .28% increase....

I am in

Already told the wife I'm going.

I'm in.

I think we are going this year.

Which weekend is it?

I'm going! Using Hershey as a goal deadline for the '75. Might bring it with a FOR SALE sign.

Hey, that ugly fucker is me! (try to guess which one, there all ugly ).

I am in. Last year was a blast, but I missed the fun at the knights in and my car was on jack stands. This year the car will be there and I will be at the Knights with home made wine to share.

Can someone point me to a link about the Hershry event? Or explain what it is?

http://www.cpa-pca.org/swap/2015/2015.html

Only the world's largest Porsche only swap meet. Info about 2015 meet not likely posted yet.

I'm in.

I would love to go this year. It's on my radar, especially if Dr. Evil says it's HUGE.

Wait, that didn't sound right....

Thanks. I thought that perhaps there might be a 914-only event tied to the swap meet.

Heheheheh there is. Only at the Knights Inn.

I'm in because I need more fuel.

I will be there, Hopefully with my beautiful wife.

Its been three years...yeah I might be there... As long as Sack does not wear that fugly sweater thing again...

Does anyone know if the final date has been set? I saw that the tentative date is April 18th (http://www.cpa-pca.org/sprecher/sprecher.pdf).

I know this is a long shot, and is going to be like herding fish, but I really enjoyed the drive we did a couple years ago. Any locals ( Ken, Sach etc ) know of other routes that might be nice to do, and would enough people be down for a day long tour to make this worth planning for ??

No P car

I will be in and hoping to meet many or you reprobates in person for the first time.

I'm in for the Swap Meet, wouldn't miss it!
I too would enjoy a group drive and have one to suggest.
About 45 miles North East of Hershey is Cigars International Tobacco Store and Micro Brew Bar.

Nice easy drive.

Doug

day long tour sounds like a Sunday event. The swap typically (that is, typically) winds down in the 3pm time frame. Would a tour after the swap be long enough to be enjoyable? If not, Sunday afternoon 'cause I know it won't be Sunday morning

I could set up a Friday drive again, but I need to pick the route and actually DRIVE it before publishing the directions this time.

Zach

That was memorable and fun.....

Fixed that fer ya

If enough people are interested in doing a drive, I would be interested in helping organize a Friday drive/rally. I would love to get it on the calendar before it goes to press.

Anyone interested in a Friday drive/rally? The issue with Friday is that set up at the swap met typically opens from 2 until 4 pm. So, that makes it hard to plan around.

Steve - I would suggest working with zach, he knows the area. I would be up for a friday tour. Not really interested in Sunday. Personally, I've never set up for Hershey the day before. With the wind and rain of some past events, I would not want stuff exposed the night. Even if you bring tents and tables there are always people willing to pitch in and help set up. There's plenty of time in the morning.

That sounds great. Zach, what do you think?

Great points about set-up n Friday. If we do it on Friday who would be interested in participating?

Last question - 914 only? I would love to invite everyone that is interested. But, . . .

I am planning on being there.

I'm in for any day and anywhere you guys want to go. Zach if you need any help let me know. One mention about a Sunday trip is that's when the AutoX is, just so if anyone is looking at doing that verses the trip.

Doug in Shrewsbury.

Looking at going! If the salt is gone from the roads I plan on making the trip, went once before, many years ago. It rained like son of a bitch so my friend and I toured the chocolate factory, brought home a big giant hershey kiss which I almost lost to the customs lady who wanted it!

With the new job I have ample time off and it is easy to use, so I would be in for a drive. I can bring the 914

Why they hell would they put it on the 18th? Is that not Easter? The last weekend this year is finally NOT Easter. For fuck sake, who plans this shit?

Easter is on April 5th in 2015, right?

My phone calendar says Easter is on the 5th ...

the fifth? THE FIFTH! I've got a dentist appointment for the fifth.... WHO PLANS THIS SHIT???

Shhhhhhhhhhhh. Ixnay on the easteryay.



Scotty's gonna be pissed!

Is he still not over the accident?

Home made wine? anything close to the "unknown substance" in the jerry can?

I would like to make it this year if at all possible. I made 4 in a row but took a break this year. I hate that I missed it and plan to try. Nothing to drive as of now but hopefully that will change before the event gets here.


Shoe

Not Jerry can juice....this is a fine wine (sort of) made with Washington State grapes...all reds cab, merlot, syrah etc. The good new is that I make lots of it.

What are you some kinda anti-dentite

Sorry for not replying sooner. Been up in the mountains...

Any how, last time we did a rainy tour of Gettysburg and a lunch stop at my favorite German restaurant for lunch, and wings for Dinner.

There was interest in doing a covered bridges tour. There are several in the area.

Lancaster has Amish and old trains. Lots of fantastic scenery, but can easily get stuck behind a horse and buggy.

If folks have other ideas, love to hear them.

We are working on this event. We should have some more info soon. It will be the day before the swap meet, Friday, April 17, 2014. We added it to the 914 Calendar as the - Hershey Spring Fling. If you are planning to go to the Hershey Swap Meet post here, and we will PM you when the info is available.
