VD,
I will be at the car show in New Orleans. This is my club's annual event, wouldn't miss it for the world. Check out <bmcno.org> for details. The show itself is Saturday, March 19. We had 140 cars two years ago, 130 this last year. Expect a really good turnout this year. Your location is listed as LA. Is that Louisiana or Los Angeles?
The show is not really a swap meet, there are some vendors there, often with an array of good used parts, but not from the attendees. The judging for all cars is popular scoring, the Jag people have their separate judging (concours, you know) off to the side. We had 16 cars in my class alone last year (TR6). Ahem, I won first place. They are gunning for me. So, if indeed you are a Louisiana boy, you should come on over. And Mickey, you can't find a sub for Mass? Really, this is a car show! Guess not, huh?
Hope to see ya'll
Bill
