Ya! its awesome.

 

Last year ****ed due to the heavy rains. Previous years were rad. I'll be there again this year...if it doesn't rain again.

 

Yes, I have been many times. It is a good swapmeet for sure. San Diego is great unless it is pouring rain like it was last year. But what's a little rain in the sunny world of hotrodding.

 

I've got some great stuff there

 

I think I'm going this year. It will be my first

 

we'll be selling again this year.

 

One of the best ever!!

 

HA! I love that swap, one of the best in so cal and it's only once a year.

 

Great swap meet...always a good time...just get there early as sometimes they are unorganized when it comes to parking and have been known to turn people away at the gate

 

Always good. Brought some good stuff home in the rain last year.

 

been going for 30 years, yeah, it aint too bad.

 

ill be there this year!

 

Looks like the weather is going to be ****py again, that ****s.

 

Best swap in So Cal! We go every year ,rain or shine! We actually bought a cart(now VERY modified) to haul our stuff back to the vehicle after overloading ourbackpacks and arms for a third time a few years ago!
Making many trips back to the buyer parking ****s...but well worth it!
We have been to Turlock in Nor Cal , Hershey in PA and live within rock tossing distance of Pomona ,the Big 3 is by far the best out there.
It is the way Pomona was 30 years ago,not a bunch of sock vendors just the contents of garages in need of new digs!

 

Driving out from phoenix as well, is it worth going on friday or just Sat?

 

friday has always been good to me as a buyer, and it looks like might be the only good day weather wise this year. I cancelled my plans to go this weekend last night, however. When it rains at this show, it is the coldest damn thing I have ever imagined! The girl friend was looking forward to her first BIG swap as a car owner, and I don't want three days of freezing rain to be her first taste... Might just be life altering, know what I mean?!?!

 

I like it when it rains. better deals.

 

Yeah, looking at the forecast, friday maybe the only day to go. That pretty much answers it right there, driving out friday. I know what you mean, 3 days of freezing rain might put a big damper on things!

 

I want to go, but I'm broke right now. Plus I am getting my taxes done on friday, and it sounds like the weekend is going to get rained out again. Wish it was next weekend after I get paid.

 

Looks awesome! My brother in-law lives 5 min from there! Ill have to make it down next year!!

 

You need to be there Friday.

 

You need to be there all 3 days. Some sellers set up Thursday.

You find things at this meet that you won't find anywhere else. Great time, even in the rain. Pack some rain gear just in case.

 

working friday, so sat it will be. is all the stuff still out if it rains or does everyone just pack it up until sunday.

 

Looks like it might just be in and out on friday for me, too much rain in the forecast after that! *bring good stuff friday*!!

Thanks a bunch for the tips guys!!

 

I was looking forward to this one... I hope I can make the trip down next year.

Maybe someone can post some pictures after the fact. I'm interested in seeing how big this meet is and what I'll be missing.

that ****s that it is this weekend, i have been planning on going to the next one all year, but i have to go to a conference in sierra vista az...

 

I just pulled up to the public gate and they aren't letting any buyers in till 12. When did it change because there is no times on the website. I know fridays use to be only for sellers. It ****s cause the rain is suppose to start around noon

 

The weather guessers say no rain today but tomorrow is going to be nasty. I am going in at noon today

 

No rain all day today, I was there 9 - 7 and filled a whole truck load with purchased parts. The sun came out around 1 and stayed till 4:30.

People were packing it up, they didn't want to sell in the rain.

Did anyone see the blonde with the pig on a leash???
