Hershey problems
 
So lots of problems at Hershey this year, but problems we like. Like trying to figure out how to get everything you bought home, we had to get creative, double stacking wheels and stuff a car full of parts on the trailer. We had wheels under the car, on the side of the car, and had sheet metal stacked off the back. Going home was slow in the PA mountains. But these are good problems. For those who say the swap is dead, you couldn't be more wrong, we bought more stuff then we could handle, and got rid of loads of stuff, exactly what a swap is supposed to be. Lots of wheels, and a few choice items like RS Seats and muffler from Vasek's RS, once again proving that you don't know what you will find, at the swap.
It was so hectic that I only took one pic while at Hershey, of my nephew Calder, riding the cart and showing off his new Turbo hat. It was one of those days where you walk up to a guy's booth, ask about a pair of wheels, and he says, "You got cash, take em all!!!!" and you do.

A great Hershey!

Impressive! Is that stuff bought on the "open market", i.e. from walking around the market stalls?

Swapmeets here in Sweden are not very fun any more. The good stuff are bought within seconds (or at least minutes) and most of the rest lay unsold through the day.

Probably about half of the wheels I bought were pre-bought, but that still leaves a lot of stuff that was bought on swap day. The car I already bought and a friend brought it to me.
Last time I was Sweden I was just hauling ass through Bastad in my cousin Ander's Volvo C70 that he borrowed from the Factory for the day.

The parts were cool, the car we picked up must have a story, almost every panel got tapped, maybe sliding on the ice and ping ponged down a Chicago street?
