There was lots and lots of REALLY old stuff there - but then I guess one mans junk is another mans treasure. It really did seem to favour really old pick up trucks and hillbilly hot rods though !
Nice to see some of the chaps (Pete, Adam, Gary, Derek). Waved to Blue...
Was waiting for friend outside gate and enjoying the sheer amount of attention 'the pit' and Alans car were getting. They were the most popular thing there I reckon - scarecely less than 10 people round them all the time I was there.
Swap-meet..

Well, as usual I was feeding my Obscessive Compulsive Slotmag Buying Disorder and bought nine slot wheels. My main reason for going to this event was to look for:
an 8 x 15 Wolfrace slot in mopar PCD. to finish off my set for the Fury.. ACCOMPLISHED
a set of 7 x 15 6 bolt alloys to fit Nissan 6 stud. ACCOMPLISHED
Also bought an airfilter, and a nice gas hob for my folks (who were just about to buy a new one) and some Honda bike indicators, and a few other odds and sods. As usual, a fantastic event, and the sun shone.
Nice to see some familiar faces, MMA etc, and saw one of the guys from JPC too.
£6 for non NSRA members to get in though? Bit steep I thought

The new ali jack i bought today is pants , won't lift the car when the jack is under the diff , as the handle does'nt have enough movement to pump the jack , my old steel one works fine.

Adam! That was TyreFryer's speaker.
Craig you scallywag! I thought you were one of the Crewe mob knocking me! If I'd known you were "from the middle" I'd have held out!
Dusty managed to get there by telling his chick he was taking her to Lakeside! She wouldn't let him buy my big toenail though

Doug! There was still a chrome Dart non locking fuel cap on me stall at the end of the day......So much for peeps looking out for one for ya!!
A great swapmeet, great way to end my good gear (& junk) selling @ Arena Essex.
