I had a conflict and couldn't make the junkyard tour. If there's another get-together, I'm for it. I'm in the NRV but go to Roanoke fairly often.

I was just readin the JYT threads from the past weekend,WOW sounds like the ODSS had some fun,I'll have to pay closer attn to the upcoming events and hook up with them in the future. When and where is Home Coming

There are several Va Bolters, I get out to Lexington and the NRV regular will have to hook up with the locals on from time to time to swap lies and tips.

Grigg, I'm between Rocky Mount and Gretna if you know where that is. I tend to use Roanoke as a reference seems everyone knows where that is.

Blacksburg here. I roll down 40 to Chatham\Anderson Mill-Tomahawk Mill frequently.

The MDA car show is usually pretty good, I haven't been inside for a few years but the outside swapmeet seems to be getting better over the years. Assuming the weather's decent...

Moneta, VA here.

I too haven't been to the MDA Car Show in a long time and also hear how it has gotten bigger and better outside. Funny you have mentioned weather. In the early years the shows would be in February, if I remember right, and the weather was too many times horrible. I'm going to try to make it this year. A year or two ago it was in the '60's or '70's there.

Bill, in '08 or '09 I had a swap space on Saturday and came home with a hellacious sunburn. Caught me by surprise...

I didn't make it inside cause of the swap meet, but instead of a sunburn I got a great deal on a pair of VA 1948 "T" plates for my cheby.
Hope the sun shines there again ! If not I'll go inside.

Hey all, bringing an old thread back from the dead.

I'm a recent transplant from San Antonio to Virginia Beach. My '53 has been sadly neglected due to military commitments but now I should have time to work on her again. I'm still very much a beginner at all of this, so I'm hoping to meet folks with someone with more mechanical aptitude than me that I could learn from.

hardcrab: My grandparents live in Heathsville so I've been to the Northern Neck quite a bit. And now I'm just across the water. Love that area.
