Thanks for the report, I missed it too. Used to look forward to it, if only to talk smack and look at cool stuff. Too much stuff going on now, sadly. Its up to us/me to make it better. Can we get 25 of us up there next year? Show the vendors its worth going? I dunno.

well, it was my first time to attend

i did expect to see a lot more than was there

where was rinnline?

i needed tow hooks, and a few other things from them, just ordered online

soul performance prosucts was there, and it was good to speak with them about a 981 muffler system

i scored a neat little polished metal 981 cayman paperweight, a unique porsche hood crest from my new ride, and some wheel cleaner

no joy on track wheels, which is what i was really after

my buddy scored big, finding a complete tail for his 1979 911 in fantastic condition at a really good price

Rennline was there. Had a mid size ez-up and a van.. usually they're on the first row with a huge tent, all kind of display arrangements and several cars right next to FabSpeed.

I'm telling you it was the weather.. as of 7:00pm Friday all the reports were forecasting between 50-75% precipitation. Earlier in the week it was 85% Friday through Sat night around Hershey.

Been going for 30yrs or more (need to count) and this was the first time I took nothing to sell, had no vendor spot, didn't even bother to drive the truck.
The thought was load in the rain, drive in the rain then unload in the rain, stand in the rain, load all the wet stuff that got ruined either in the rain or when it dried out in the afternoon which it was predicted to do. And of course unload again when ya get home! Think a lot of folks just weren't feeling it.. I wasn't!

It was for me the 3rd time having my spot. The first time I was by myself, and I didn't even had the chance to eat or go to the bathroom, LOL.

Anyway, noticed a lot 944 and 356 used parts. I was hoping to find some items on my list for the 84 Targa.

We were Ok until the wind grabbed our easy-up and trow it over the Cayenne and it landed half on the roof of the Cayenne and the ground. Fortunately it didn't hit anybody and no other car. We had to disassemble the frame in order to get it out of the position it was. Thanks to our neighbor, next to us, who helped us to remove some of the screws until we could fold it up and stick it in the bag.

However, Thanks to all who stopped by and said hello or bought something.

At least this time I was able to go around and find a few items to take home.

Cheers
Engelbert

Yep. Turnout was light with both vendors and shoppers. Did manage to sell some stuff and made the PCA Facebook page.
