Hi Mike,

Nice find anyway. Was going to go to it but had other commitments yesterday.
Is it just me or are fewer items for all types of vehicles changing hands at swap meets? Even less for MV's?

As I walk to the car park on departure from swaps empty handed in most cases I notice almost everyone else is doing the same. I see the odd bar mirror or sign, even potted plants, but no car parts in hands.

Guess EBay and on-line selling is killing it off a bit.

Last week I wanted to get some rubber automotive components at Scotts Old Rubber Co. shop at Oakleigh only to find the shop is now on-line only. Luckily I did Google it first otherwise it would have been a wasted trip.
Shops cost too much to man and keep open but nothing beats seeing and touching an item before buying it. It also prevents receiving an item that does not in anyway resemble the picture posted in the on-line catalogue as many of us have done.

"Lest we forget". ANZAC day is today for our overseas friends on MLU.

Cheers,
