In fact a few lucky days can even be 100% humidity and NOT be raining. That's just crazy.

Not uncommon to be above 90% humidity, which can be crushing/debilitating.

Carlisle has two events in Lakeland. IIRC the February one is much larger of the two.

AKA the horse park show.

No full pic of the green A body? That crew cab vw truck is a bed full of money.

Thanks guys. Kind of glad I didn't bust my *** to go. As a kicker, I got a cold this past week and am just now getting over it, so wasn't going anyway. Looking forward to next year, though.

I started loading the trailer for the horse park show. ...no I'll have to watch the weather.

Finally a decent solution. Can't believe no one thought of that sooner. Be careful scheduling around the Lakeland/Carlisle events. I believe one is in Feb. Not sure when the other one is. One of them is usually WAY bigger than the other. I know it's all brands, but it's a big event and would...

Any more pics? Maybe of the turnout.

It's $600 a year, for the record. Online transactions also factor shipping where swap meets generally do not, other than the cost to drive the goods to the meet where a basic "economy of scale" takes place versus shipping each item. I ended up not going. We had to euthanize a kitten yesterday...

IDK about that. I've seen the general "inflation" trend including transportation costs and maybe even a little gouging carry over into the car parts market within the last couple of years and not really any sign of that reversing. Plateauing...perhaps.

It's 2 plus hours one way for me. Just long enough to piss me off thinking about making that trip 4 times in 8 days.

Yes, Don is generally very approachable, even in a non-organized setting.

In my past experience, almost half the people leave late Saturday. ...although I haven't been since the "Horse Park" FMA show the next weekend started sapping participants a few years ago.

Hundreds. At least 5 years ago there were.

I'm particularly liking that turquoise 68 R/T. Who'd have thought there's be a US school bus collector over there?

Couldn't make it. Other commitments came up and I lost all my prep time. ...then the biggest one cancelled at the last minute :BangHead: I was looking forward to going, too.

Garlits show used to the "Mopar Nationals of the South".

...and we're back to- combined it would be a better show and much more convenient for attendees.

In the past there have been somewhere near "hundreds" of cars from the 80's down to the 40's there, predominantly 60's and 70's. There were a fair number, maybe 100 at the last horse park show I went to 2019, IIRC. Looks like I'm not going to make either this year due to way too much going on...

You just never know what kind of weather you'll get in central FL in mid-November. I've been there in almost 100 degree weather and in almost freezing weather. Total crapshoot.

He IS a nice guy, and very approachable.

Turkey run is typical 70% chevy, 20% ford, 10% other including Mopar, but there are almost too many vendors to take in in one day. Harder to sift through. Plus lots are "street rod" specific which normally means any body with a gm power train. I'm also somewhat local to Ocala, but the thought...

Is that a late model, bizarre VW crew cab parked on the other side of you? Also curious as to the cost of the coffee.

I said having them on the same day/weekend would at least save those who travel a fair distance or greater the expense of two trips to the same area. It was a compromise suggestion if the parties involved can't reach an agreement. it would also save two loading/unloading cycles. For those of us...

Again, there's an all makes Carlisle even (2 actually) in Lakeland FL. Not as big as pictured above but I've got some decent deals there. Last year I bought a $375 Coats brand spin balancer and it has almost paid for it's self already! ...and usually you can get a ride in a vintage plane or...

The first time was a joke, but after a period to think... the solidity of the logistics seems serious, so I resubmit- If you can't work out the differences- have them on the same day! Yes, potentially paying for parking and/or admission twice sucks, but not paying to make the drive likely...

I'm "only" 2.5 hours away, but factoring in all the driving, prep time, loading and unloading plus deciding whether to unload the trailer between shows makes it a royal PITA. I've been a vendor at both shows but between this drama and covid, I'm not going to either one this year. I'm pretty...

One of the Lakeland shows is markedly larger, but both shows have swap meets and an auction.

There IS a Carlisle event in FL. Actually twice a year. It's an all makes show/swap meet at the regional airport in Lakeland. It was formerly the Zepherhills fall fest show.
