I'll be going. It's in my back yard. If I had known sooner, I'd have offered to set up a BCF table or booth......

Peter: A mini MK 1 & a Jaguar Mk 1. wow. I'll be there. Heading up on Friday. Will be wearing a "Sprite" ball cap. Getting there early in the a.m. on Sunday. Hope to run into you.

Dave, you have a PM.

I think I am making last minute plans to run up there, it is about 500 miles for me, but going to get a couple other guys drive down Saturday night, sleep in car, drive back Sunday night, don't know what I will be wearing but I'll be the guy looking tired but happy--never been before but really sounds great. Like ebay, but you can touch feel and negotiate.

I'm sure you'll stand out and be instantly recognizable. (unlike every other tired & happy person there) :lol:

Get to the swap meet early. The good stuff goes fast. I will be there at the Austin-Healey Club table selling my artwork. This is a great event and it just gets better every year. Last year I scored a beautiful bugeye grill for only $30.

Dave, you have a PM.

Need translation on what a "PM" is.

Anyone who makes it to the swap meet, I'll be EASY to find. I am going with my foster son. You'll know it's us by remembering the song "Ebony and Ivory"! If I get a chance, I'll stop by the mall on Sat and get bright colored hats with BCF on them for both of us!

 

[JPSmit]

Changing the subject slightly - why when I click on the link on your signature do I get nothing?

 

[Silverghost]

Ahh...thanks for that! On the left there is a box with "My Classic Boats Adventure" "My Jaguar Adventure" and "My Mini Adventure". Click any one of those to get to the good stuff! The Mini one is empty right now.

 

[JPSmit]

OK - thanks for that except now I'm really frustrated, cool pics and no story?! (except for the descriptions)

I'll be there. It's a good look and laugh session like last year. I have better results on Ebay. Seems the less British car estute one is, the less of of a snob they are. Defenately not enough people getting laid in this world.

Ok, my son and I have red hats with white fronts (it was all I could find!) that say:
