    Swapmeets, who here is into it?

    I've been doing swapmeets for decades, Did hororata at the weekend, fly from welly to queenstown, transfer rental home three nights away, was a great event, Manfeild Vintage Car Club this weekend, might even see some of you there?

    I've read about them in UK magazines but assumed they weren't really a thing here. Hasn't tardme finished them off like it kinda did auctions? Where do you hear about these things?

    Quite a few of the vintage car club branches and other car clubs around the country hold them, some are only car parts etc but others are open for people selling anything.

    Found a bookface group a while back that attempts to keep track of them https://www.facebook.com/groups/203913843356242/
