Why does your Posche have to running to go there? Hell, if you are going to a swap, make a list of the parts you need, or take some of your own.

I will be going. Because the place is large and we have hundreds of people some moving at a snails pace and others rushing with walkie talkies it is difficult to notice anyone.
I suggest that somewhere on our body or baseball hat we wear out screen name. I have gone for the past ten years and rarely met people that I know much less some I never met.
Some are looking for parts others slither around in the parking lot.
I probably will be wearing some kind of shirt or hat with a 924 on it.

Just to rub it in I will be in Europe for three weeks prior to Hershey. Ahhh
Venice under water in the spring. Wonderful.

I plan on going. I met Diesel and Vince last year, so hopefully we can meet again. Paul....I think I recall seeing on an earlier post that you used to live in State College and had a sports car repair shop. Was it Sports Car Prep.? I grew up in the State College area (actually Boalsburg). I was into MGB's in the late 70's early 80's while in college at PSU. I'm a graphic designer and did some artwork for Bruce back in the 80's.

Small world, yes it was Sports Car Prep. Bob, Bruce, and I started it. I left in 1978 and lost track of the guys shortly thereafter. I had a full time staff job at Penn State, but found time to work on mainly Fiats which were a very popular car (cheap) for students.

I had a Fiat X19 back in 82. It was actually Bruce that told me that he always recommended that when you buy a Fiat, you buy a butane diposable lighter the same day, and when the lighter runs out of butane, throw out the lighter and the Fiat. I guess he didn't share your love of Fiats.

I owned several X 1/9s and 128s, had a lot of fun, but they needed to be worked on a lot.

Is Sports Car Prep still alive and well?

If you guys would like, we could meet at one of the vendor booths called VAS Enterprises. He sells helmets, race shoes, race suits, gloves etc.
I am usually with him.

As I said we should have some method of identifyimg ourselves. I could have some name tags available for us to use.

Regards

How about we do a group buy of 924.ORG baseball caps or something?
