check the calender events for details of the 1st major swap meet in southern Ontario. there has been no major swap meet in this area for the last 15 years so we are expecting lots of used parts. date is September 29, sponsored by Restoration Design and Whale Tail

Yes it did happen. VERY good turnout. sales were excellent. there was lots of parts and cars to look at and I bought some parts and made some connections. No pictures, sorry. You should have come Adam. You can sleep on the couch in the office if you come this year which promises to be bigger and better.

The couch promises to be bigger and better?

Just kidding, you remember what happened the last time I went to the border, I was detained.

But maybe after a few years they will have forgotten my good looks, also I have the hair to throw them off now, so maybe I will take a spin on the RD couch, as long as it's bigger and better.

So dropping your name won't open any doors for me?

It wouldn't help you one bit. It might in fact get you into deep water

It has been a few years since my border crime spree, smuggling cars and all that so maybe I will swing up next year. What about the guy with the 100's of 356's, is he still around?

not hundreds, but 30. I sent him an email about 3 weeks ago and he has not responded. I will send him another email. Next time I am in Toronto I will do a drive by at his place and see what is going on.

This time of year his place probably looks like my old yard in Gloversville. In fact that is Canadian snow, the storms used to start in Canada, than come right through the Mohawk valley, and then stop, and dump feet of snow right on my head, thanks Canada!

I'm hoping there's at least a mouse-motor and a Muncie rock-crusher in there.
