Who is planning on going to Hershey 2012...
#16
Ok, I am going to raise my hand and look into renting a minivan. For "comfort and luggage, I will say the van could accomodate 6 people. I already have a buddy interested in coming along. Can we show a list of interested parties who would like to join in? The more the merrier

Al... what parts are you looking for?
I know Clive normally travels later in the evening but I'm looking at taking the Friday off as a travel day, there is safety in numbers so what is everyone planning?
6 people wow...minvan is great but if guys start buying sets of wheels, seats etc. the space gets used up. The 1st year we took Jim's van we hauled back plenty o' stuff but there was only 4 of us in Jim's full sized van.

Wanna come too Dan? I really don't need anything.
I might pick up another set of rims......lol
That's the last thing I need. I'm just going for the experience.

Mark,
I'm going to be a spectator and not looking to purcahse much parts as I would have to determine whether the 997 will stay in the stables or may end up purchasing an older 993 CS.
Hope the swap meet will still be fun to see lots of Porsches and an "excuse" to hang out with like-minded Porsche-philes

I'm pretty sure that if the wife gives me a get out of jail pass, it will come with the condition of not buying any more car parts.

Of Course i am going. The last five years i havent bought hardly anything but it is all about the pilgrimage. The trip down the solitude and having quiet time without family. The weather is often bad that time of year going through the mountains, especially after dark in the rain.
I will be going lone gunman as usual but i will see you guys wandering around the parts

Just booked my hotel in anticipation. There are other places but I enjoyed staying there previous years, great quality and service, pretty good restaurants within walking distance, good neighborhood, shopping mall nearby. Takes about 15 minutes to the swap meet. Not the cheapest but the not most expensive either.

Damn, wish I could go - I'd really like to get there on of these years. We're away that weekend though.
If you guys are going, anyone feel like doing some shopping for me? I need a new driver's chair. I'm looking at $3-500 locally for a used one, so if there really are deals to be had there, maybe $2-300? I'm happy to compensate for the pain-in-the-butt factor of loading a chair and getting it back, whatever you think is fair.

I'm going to try and make it.... But definitely driving the Porsche if I go! Half the fun of the weekend is the drive, I think doing it in a van would spoil the experience for me.
On the other hand, if the intention is for parts shopping, a minivan would be ideal!
We should put together a group drive for those interested in sharing the journey down! Was a blast with Mark and Stan 2 yrs ago.

I'm minivan-ing it with a few other freinds. Leaving mid-afternoon on Friday. I'm in the Hamilton area. If peeps want to meet for a convoy (with the vans as support trucks!), PM me and we can plan a place to meet.
