    The Hico swap meet is this weekend ,
    & had a report there were not many people there today ?
    dose it fill in enough Saturday ?
    to make it worth the drive from Austin 300? miles round trip.
    A buddy was going up in the morning , and I was gonna go with him?
    Thank`s for any input, never been to this one.

  4. A guy I used to work with (any of you Anglia guys will know him as the proprietor of www.angliaobsolete.com, well, his wife's dad has what I understand to be the one and only motel in Hico, TX. Never been there, but I have heard about Hico enough to know it's a real place
     
  5. Been to the HICO swap meet the past 3 years, Nice little swap meet , a few of the same vendors that you see at most meets, A few other ones , A few neat cars show up from the area , usually have about 20 cars for sale from pickups to streetrodsto parts cars, Lots of shade trees, low key and family oriented, Not a bad meet to visit , in the HICO city park, good access, see you there,,,,,

    i don't know what it was like the other years, but this year was a sad turn out for when i was there. i drove from Fort Worth, i hope no one from Austin drove there. There was some stuff, but I've seen more old car stuff at flea markets. Oh well, its like a buddy said, if i hadn't of gone the stuff i want would have been there.
