spiffinspudater Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hope you guys get this. It is a bit further than I realized, I wont be able to make it... Sorry guys. Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 This is why I wish I was down in that area. After September this area (washington) shuts dowm for car events and all that go along with it. No shows, no gatherings, swap meets what have you. But I guess thats what happens when it start to freeze and rains for 30 days straight...Dont get me wrong Love the NW just wish the car stuff would go a bit longer than 4 months a year....

hang_510 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 :blink: i made it! sure i didnt get there till after everyone left :fu: but the HG repair was complete :mellow: Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 So were there lots of parts??? Would it be worth My time to drive from Arizona with a trailer to sell stuff there or would I be better off taking a trailer of Datsun parts to Pomona? I forsee someday taking My excess 620 parts to a swapmeet to thin out but keep in mind that I have to leave here either the day before or at the earliest midnight for either one. How about the Long Beach swapmeet? Any of You guys ever go to that one? I believe that it would be mostly early street rod parts, though and not a place Datsun parts would get much attention. By far, for Me and My location, ebay seems like the best place to sell parts, Yes? Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 dimequarterly (although its mostly 510's) is good too there are 3-4 regular guys there(from norcal-so around the same distance from the zone), if your bringing truck parts (there are usually a few of them there too) it would be wise to get some exposure that youll be there and what youll have. its billed as vintage datsun :thumbup: ... I will bet that they will be thinkin of maybe trin to find a bigger spot soon... :w00t: :thumbsup: ??? someplace where the showoffs could embarass themselves :lol: Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 :w00t: :thumbsup:??? someplace where the showoffs could embarass themselves :lol: was there some embarassing driving? those always make interesting stories... or amusing at least. please share. Quote Link to comment
OL YELLER Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Ya know..being right off the Freeway (the southbound off ramp was right there)..seems as tho some of the "boys" decided to see how loud and obnoxtous(sp) they could be...and ya know what? they were!!! And most of the ones makin all the noise and drawin atention to themselves were really the "ratty" lookin ones...(The good lookin 510s and trucks were very quite though...!)...Anyway!..........Mike (Steroid) unless they find a larger venue I don't think it would be to your benefit to drag a trailer full O stuff here.....not enuff interest I would think...Now then, I am wondering though about Pomona..HMMMMMM living this close, I am always there..and see very little Datsun stuff...................I would wonder though that if you could get the word out to the So Cal crowd..Pomona might be worth the drive...HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM dunno.. then of course as you said there is always E-Bay.....Hey "Hang"..what time were you there?...sorry I missed ya...WE had Robert (from Riverside), Datrod, Phiz, Myself and son Ray..(Ratsuneers all! LOL Quote Link to comment
djmoreron Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 ha, thats funny. my girlfriend immediately assumed that all the 510 guys were showing off, she called them "drifters" :lol: maybe its just a young guy thing... when is that pomona swap meet? Quote Link to comment

The next Pomona Swap meet is on Dec 2nd (but there is another one on Jan 13th..usually they are about 6 weeks apart or o...you can go to "Pomonaswapmeet.com to check it out) .................BUT..I seem to think that is the date of the Toys For Tots run at the California speedway...(Robert isn't that correct?)..we talked about geting a group of us together ( Datsun So Cal Guys) to go to that!

Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I could possibly haul my Datsun crap up to Pomona to sell/give it away. Sounds like a SWDP get-together to me :D C-mon Mike we'll fire up the BBQ & save you a hot dog :D Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Ron, if you guys get together for "toys for tots" let me know! I've been attending the pomona swapmeet regularly for 18 yrs. and very seldom see any datsuns there.....South West Datsun Pickups need to definately make an appearance there in the future:D Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 mark, The park opens at 5 am if you plan on attending get there real early, the line to get in is always crowded! Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 12-02-07 http://www.t4tcarshow.com/ i wanna have my 2dr ready for the CA speedway track by then ... :lol: :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
djmoreron Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 cool. more stuff to attend... i love it Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Steroid, I was talking to Mario the guy that puts on the swapmeet. He is working on a new place to hold it, much bigger lot. I don't think you will have much luck at pomona or long beach. Mostly hot rod and V.W. Mario was talkin about all vintage swap. toyota, datsun, mazda, honda. Just like JCCS but a swapmeet.

John, that sounds sweet...did he give you any indication as to where when etc...His old place was too small also......and you are very correct about the other "big" swap meets... wonder if we could get "Datsun" into the VW area at Pomona???????????
