Cool Tom.

I'll be at the 356 Club of SoCal booth extolling the benefits of becoming a member as well as the Sunday swapmeet.

Was a great time. Two huge ballrooms and hallways full of tables.

Thanks for thinking of me Tom. That Speedster looks damn nice!

How did you do at the meet; was it worth your time and expense for a booth? Thanks for sharing some pics.

Fri, sat, and Sun were all worth it despite the early wake up times. I'm accustomed to paying sellers fees everywhere and I thought the $100 table fee was reasonable. It ended up costing less than ebay and I had so much fun talking with and meeting people. I even said hello to Seinfeld, Magnus Walker, and probably other well renowned gents.

The sunday swap was also very good for me as I bought several small things at below market value in my opinion. Mostly things I needed for my 911 project.

Here's one from European Collectibles and Sunday's show.

Sorry to all those who missed this Porsche packed weekend. Now I need to get moving on my projects!

Sounds like it was a total success then Tom.

Speaking of renowned gents I asked Lee Raskin if it would be alright to share a few of his photos and captions here; he graciously said yes.
