One thing a number of us have been talking about is the desire to have a local/regional P-car swap meet to hauk our no longer needed parts and kick around stories with other parts collectors, tinkerers, moders, and the like. Wait no longer!

I have gotten the go ahead from the LSR PCA board to begin planning a swap this fall, and I have gotten Porsche of North Houston to host the event in their lot out back. Below are main details:

What: P-Car Swap Meet
When: Saturday, October 31st. ~8am to 2pm (TBD)
Where: Porsche of North Houston

Some ideas kicking around:
- Parking space sized seller areas for @$20 which goes to charity.
- Pcar parts, memorabilia, etc only. No wax candles, hippie necklaces or fudge tables that seem to pop up at more regular swaps.
- Working with PNH to open their garage, and showroom. Good chance they will have deals on parts, and perhaps a Panamera will be in by then to check out.
- Light breakfast of sorts.
- Onsite preferred parking for P-cars
- Lots more. Ideas welcome.

Just wanted to throw word out there so you can spread far and wide. Also lots of advance notice to get up in the attic, and back storage bins and bring out parts and such you no longer need, but others may. New, old, every year inbetween. All P-car items are fair game.

If anyone is interested in helping to organize, let me know. We'll definitely need some extra hands to ensure it runs well.

Keep posted for updates in the coming weeks. Hope we all chip in to make this great and it turns into a yearly event to look forward to.
