Gawd 5am is early even for a swapmeet. I love swapmeets, might go home with a Jeep.

Anyone going? I'm thinking I might, but might wait until 6.30ish before arriving as I'd like to be able to see.

So I went. it was 7.00 am and utterly freezing. There was 5 stalls (a normal swapmeet has between 80-200 stalls).
No clothing of any sort, primarily 4WD and truck parts with some over-priced army accessories. Genuine Landrover trailer which is mildly interesting to a car buff like myself, and an overpriced very rusty Blitz truck and a very rusty Jeep body.
Costumers - there's nothing for you.
Car Buffs - unless major restoration of basket cases is your thing, then there's nothing for you either.

I went as well, to say it was disappointment would be an understatement!!!
Oh well. Better to stick to the Military and arms fair.
