TURLOCK....Anybody from the San Fernando Valley and area going ?

Due to past regular inclement weather..maybe bring warm cloths; good walking shoes/boots; and very important is a transporter of parts, i.e.- folding shoping cart , wagon..you get the idea ! Getting excited just thinking on it,eh !!

Anyone familiar with camping/trailer park area ?

Hey pooch,
Hm, I think that this type getaround is NOT allowed at Turlock meet...not sure anymore as it's been years since I've been there.
Back then, some guy sued (big time ) the Model A Club that sponsored/put on the meet as he claimed to have been injured and reinjured (was already injured) by such cart running into him (claim). I heard that HUGE money exchanged hands...bummer.

I will be staffing the MAFFI Booth next to Ron and John LaVoy. I will have the Stickers and License Plate Toppers for sale. Also would like to encourage all to Join the Foundation and Support the Museum.

This is a standard mobility scooter with a solar panel on top which are generally the only vehicles allowed at Aussie swaps now.

Yeh, some folks sitting down at a swap table, ask why have you got a table on your roof?

And I have had sweaty guys take a break on the seat in the shade while I have been perusing sites.

And I have so many goodies in the milk crate some times , it has tipped backwards in a wheelstand and i have to balance it with my weight to drive off.

I am going to write on the solar panel top...

What the swap meet taketh away..... the sun giveth back !!!
