well, it'll be good for networking-meeting alot of the folks on this forum. Most important, you'll be able to see many color combo's/wheels/listen to various 993 exhaust's etc there.

Last year I was looking for a car too, no luck. Did meet lots of great people, engaged in lots of Porsche talk...and saw lots and lots of 993's.

Bring business cards to slip under the wipers maybe, and bring money for stuff.

I can't wait for this swap meet. Last year was great working the entrance, seeing and hearing everyone come in.

I've never been too impressed with the swap meet. There seems to be a lot of people pedaling their wears who do this for a living or hobby. Their prices seem very high and quality not so high. It may be great for owners of 356s looking for a rare part.

Agreed. The swap itself is pretty poor but the crowd, cars, etc. more than make up for it

Ich auch (+1). DC/MD/VA peeps interested in a caravan: should we pick a meet up spot(s) along the way? I'll cross post this on Dorki.

No Poker for me, I'm buying for two cars (mainly the '88 Cab). I can't afford Poker!

I am, but I'll need to coordinate with a friend of mine who's thinking of coming along to share my spot to sell P-car parts we no longer need. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what the plans are.

Everyone interested in waking up at the buttcrack of dawn and joining the caravan to Hershey:

PM me and include your location so we can pick a meet up spot. Jim, please include contact information for the Fräulein on the right.

It's caravan time!!
