The Big Three Swap Meet in San Diego

Nice seeing you out there Jimmy, I never saw Jaime ?

 

Thanks for the information, Miguel. I'll be sure to put this one in my calendar for next year!

Not to split hairs,
but I read some news article claiming the big 3 was called that
cause it was held for 3 days, and it was held in 3 parts of california,
which I knew wasn't quite right.

I always thought it was Miguel's version,
but their website ***ociates these 3 clubs...

THE ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF AMERICA
HORSELESS CARRIAGE CLUB OF AMERICA
THE EARLY FORD V8 CLUB OF AMERICA

Just wanted to give the right guys credit,
its a ****-ton of work putting that on for free!

had a great time friday!!! wish i would've bought more!! hope the weather is better next year and I can stay for the whole weekend

 

don't think that car sold, it was priced much better this year than it was last year, but still seemed a bit high considering the overall lack of parts that came with it and the amount of wasted metal in it

jaime was a no show miguel, not sure why

 

What Long Beach Swap? the regular Topping event wasn't this past weekend.

We were there. In the upper section of the lot that flooded. They told us to get out of that lot. We moved to the upper lot beside the car corral and stayed. Great people, great time, great buys and sells.

Last year in the rain I ran through the knee high water in the same area that flooded this year. They didn't shut it down then. But they did say they had to pump out the stadium for the Poinsetta bowl in January. One Cop did tell me that the water has been known to get up to the trolley stairs. Then he also said the enviromentalists won't let the city clean out the riverbed, some kinda endangered species or something. All I ever see on that riverbank is homeless, I'm not sure what part of endangered species they are but...

 

I love this swap meet. I got a great old drum puller for an even greater price! Been looking forever!

 

damn, damn, damn......i should have just went there.
