Proposal....Swap Meet???

I was thinking that this might not be a bad idea......

Lord knows alot of us have too many parts laying around so why not get together somewhere/sometime???

spring might be the perfect time for somethign like this - anyways....just throwing it out there....

I'll have to rent a U-haul to bring all my parts....then probably rent another one to take all the parts I"ll end up buying. LOL

23Racer I am looking for some springs, and shocks for autocrossing. Do you have anything? Also bushings too? I can come pick them up myself. I have an '85 GSL by the way. Messange me.

Thanks Ted.

Even though the weather seems to be very spring-like, do you think we should wait until its actually Spring?

Maybe call it the "1st Annual Rotary Spring Clean-out"

Just a thought......

thats a good idea.......I was only thinking waiting for spring simply becuase of weather......any suggestions on where?

Perhaps once we know who wants to come and where they are from we could find something fairly central to everyone

I'd be up for it. I'm in brampton, so something within 2-3 hours isn't out of the question for me.

it will be a "hard call" on location..I was expecting Toronto to be the designated spot..like I said I'm at least 4 hours from Toronto but if this Spring Cleanout is a "go" and the people commit to it..then it would be worth the drive..I go to Toronto for parts anyway..it seems to be the active area for guys with parts available.. I like the drive also..just my point of view..

Toronto is fine, it's about 4 hours from Ottawa, 4 from Windsor, 3ish from Kincardine, everyone is driving. The huge one in Barrie would be a good one to goto.

Kitchener actually may be a better central location.
