Swapday At Airspeed

Thanks Geoff and Jim for the swapday. I was able to buy stuff I didn't need and pass on some stuff I didn't want.

It was nice to finally meet some of you in person - at the next swap you'd better buy more of my stuff!

Thanks again Geoff and Jim!

I think it is safe to say \"a good time was had by all\".  I personally had a great time.  It's so nice to put faces to names....... It'll take me months to get all the actual names together with the correct \"airspeed forum nicknames\" but at least I have a face now to go with it.  The drive home was flawless.  Flew home using what ever passed me as a cop magnet.... Payed off just east of Kamloops.  I think the guy was going about 120 in a 90 zone.  Good for us .... bad for him.......  I'll upload pictures likely tonight of MOJO'S and the swapmeet.   Later and thanks again

that was great, i bought stuff from the airspeed showroom and sold it for twice as much to some guys from salmon arm. ;)

thanks gp and lil timmy. i personally thought that it was indeed a great day. good turn out for the first time. it was cool putting names to faces, seeing jims oval (lovin that car, man) and the hulk, and selling some stuff i didnt need to purchase stuff i do.

thanks again. :rockon:

I admired your beauty car for a while. But my cohort wanted to go. Plus you were pretty busy chatting it up. Don't worry to much though. I still want you to adopt me so I can get driven to school in the hulk :rockon:  :blush:

Geoff, Jim, and Gary!
Thanks for your hospitality. That was a nice little swap meet. Very sociable!
I managed to give away most of the things I took out to AirSpeed, and went home with an empty van. Thanks to Bruce, Stephan, and HansK.
