Anyone else in the SE wisconsin region heading out there? Rumor is that ALL the swap spaces were sold so there's gonna be a ton of parts there.

Holy crap indeed! I hope it's not this weekend (bad timing for me and the weather's on crack anyway).

Edit: Crap, it is. http://www.jeffersonswapmeet.com/
And the farked-up weather: http://www.weather.com/activities/other ... 9&dayNum=1

There's alway May...

I need to learn how to haggle a little better, start with a looow price. I had some guy arguing with me over $2 and some old bag wanted $200 for a cracked intake. :finga:

I covered most of what was there though, lot's of dopey little venders with 10 or so parts ( too many chevy parts :evil: ). It was cold enough for a jacket and a hat with your hands in your pockets but I saw people with full winter gear on. The sun came out a little around noon to warm it up. The wind wasn't so bad as long as you stayed in a row, all the trailors and cars blocked it but the dust was a PITA, you face the wrong way with a gust and your eyes are full of crap. As long as you stayed moving, you stayed warm which facilitated a good area coverage.

I was there too, covered 90% of it...

You see that red colt that was for sale on the main gate road outside the fairgrounds? The one with the dune buggy parked on top of it?

I went. Funding was limited, but I got a dealer brochure for the wagon. I almost got some European Colt/Lancer brochures too, but I think they were in Finnish.

The first round of storms knocked the power out for a second or so. When the next batch came through, the sirens sounded, so I decided to head out. I might have stayed longer but a blister developed on my left foot. :evil:

Car Corral was more interesting to wander through than the show itself.

The pictures are worth looking at :) I like the massey-fergusson snowmobile, hard to not appreciate such a mint piece of vintage machinery. (well for us Wisconsinites anyways) The camaro jacket is the best.
