Carlisle, May 9th - 11th, is the MOTHER of all swap meets. It's also a
show. There are hundreds of vendors and although it is for all import
and replica (kit cars) it seemed as though 50% is british. Lots of cars
(at least 50) for sale as well as parts. We took my friends Subaru
wagon late year because we were shopping and filled the car with parts.
No racing, rally or auto-cross
I live on Long Island, Carlisle is 300 miles from me and the show in
Iowa, Aug 23rd and 24th, is 1000 miles from me and is auto cross
Saturday and Car show Sunday. I'd like to hook up with a few cars along
the way.
I hope you are signed up for MG 97 in Buffalo, N.Y.. July 10 - 13, if
not call tonight to make room reservations. Buffalo Marriot is the host
hotel and all the stuff including banquet, auction, venders and start
of rallies and such will be from there. 1-800-228-9290, the room rate
is $76 per night when you mention North American MGB Register and
Buffalo Octagon Association. If you need Pre-reg pack E-mail
BOOFALO@aol.com and request one. But do not wait to reserve your room.
