Oh, have you not bn before?

They HAVE been a Twice yearly thing,
Although with the advent of E-bay
Its future has been questionable.

To be fair though, if you take a bundle of readies with you, that bit of trim/switch/momo you've been after, might well turn up in the back of someones van

Is it a car parts sale sort of thing then? Didn't think that it sounded like that frown

Pub alongside wall of that big house over there,
Field behind fills up by mid-morning like a car-boot

Parking behind village hall opposite,

Pub open for coffee and snacks,


Some traders, a few chancers with nothing but sets of wheels to sell from god knows who's car

And lots of transits full of. Everything you need to knit-yourself-a-911 in a day....

Thanks, not as interesting then but worth a peep perhaps.

What happens at Husborne (Crawley?) that and when, I could find no mention of that.

It's at 'The White Horse' pub, Husborne Crawley MK43 0XE
9am-3pm sat 29/9/07. I'm not associated & only know 'cos I copied the ad off the IB board before it (hopefully temporarily) went down.

some crossed wires maybe? What Rich just described is what happens at Husborne Crawley, a mini trade fair for Porsche bits. Mini being the operative word, the one back in March took me 30-40 mins to look around if that. Nice brekkie at the pub though!

The event tomorrow is entirely different, never been so can't comment - looks good if it stays dry

o2 sensor maybe,

Neighbors looking for a reflector as his is faded, and a new Ones 200 plus quid apparently.

I sometimes go specifically for just that part, but end with a box full of stuff I don't need.

They all remark on the popularity of E-bay but its lack of pick-up-and-look at
and wonder just how many more meets they might see,
not to mention the scarcity of older car parts year on year.

I think optimum time for shopping is mid-morning as early on there are just to few stalls set out,
Once I went around 9AM but had walked around Twice in half an hour



How are those Tyres BTW I need to replace all Four really as they dont appear to be available easilly anymore

Marvellous, really rather good. I can tell the difference they make in the dry over the old ones, which is nice. Need alignment doing, should go really well then.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me, although perhaps I didn't help matters by discovering another local event only a week away smile

The Pulloxhill Inter-Marque Gathering in an annual event organised by Mike Pink - the PCGB Region 10 RO. It's basically an invitation to other car clubs to participate in a charity fund raiser for Keech Cottage hospice. There is a £5 BBQ and, inevitably, a raffle.

It makes an interesting afternoon since you never know what or who might turn up. Last year there were about 30-40 Porsches, almost 20 Ferraris, a Lambourghini and several Aston Martins together with an assortment of other cars -including a couple of DeLoreans.

If the weather stays dry (looks like it might) it's worth it just for the BBQ and a stroll around the various metal - and it's all in a good cause.

Held at the rear of the Cross Keys pub in the village.

Regards

Dave
