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... | | | | | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 942 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 942 | 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 Bill, in '08 or '09 I had a swap space on Saturday and came home with a hellacious sunburn. Caught me by surprise... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 | 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.

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. | | |
