Swap meet wasn't that flash, quite a bit of holden stuff,seems like a lot more junk than goodies.

Geez Sean, there was more early tin there than I have seen at a swap for a while. It is horses for courses though. I managed to find a few bits so I went home happy. Missed those 36 radius rods and the two banjo wheels by 2 mins DOH!

If I had have known which site yours was tj's dad, I would have stoped and said g,day! I'm starting to think its a bit of secret squirrel sort of stuff, after your incident with mr cool! You musnt have had the right hand shake.

I did notice an increase in early tin fron previous years, Why do you want '36 Radius rods anyway flatoz, can i smell a new project coming along?

All I wanted were some new wiper blades for the 46 and there weren't any there that I saw. The rain meant I had to take the everydayer (see reason above) but the rain made the swap several degrees warmer than usual! There was a bit of stuff there for sale though nothing for me. Saw lots of old faces and caught up with a few. Saw T.J. and his Dad there making their fortune. At least I picked up a bargain large scale Harley Fat Boy Model at the Ballarat Market on the way home!
