Hershey Swap Meet April 22, anyone going?
 
Hey guys,
As a former 944 Turbo guy, I always planned to make the trip from Northern VA to Hershey for the annual swap meet, and usually had a couple friends caravan.

Anyone here planning to attend from Northern VA and interested in caravanning? Or at least meeting up at the show?

I am not, but wanted to compliment your interior, by far the nicest I've seen in red :cheers:

Where did you get your steering wheel from?

PCinDC 04-15-2017 10:26 AM

Thank you, sir. I actually got the wheel from a company I met at Hershey last year. Exotic Car Gear. They took my stock wheel and modified it as you see.

I didn't know what that swap meet was but after looking it up I'm seriously thinking of going. It looks very interesting. Where are you in Northern Virginia?

PCinDC 04-15-2017 10:56 AM

Potomac Falls, can meet anywhere between Great Falls, Leesburg, or anywhere on the way up 15.

Truly, the Hershey meet is 100% worth the drive. There are tons of vendors and cars to ogle. I am going up Friday and staying overnight. If nothing else, come up Saturday morning, check the cars out and head home. From NoVA, it's under 2 hours.

Well then you can count me in. I'm in Great falls off of Algonkian Parkway. Not sure if I'll be going up Friday night or Saturday morning but I'll keep you guys posted.

PCinDC 04-15-2017 11:16 AM

You are literally right around the corner from me. I'm in the Lowe's Island neighborhood.

I am def. going. If the weather is nice it ll be a great day!

Paul 04-16-2017 07:26 PM

800 miles one way, if the weather is nice, I'll be there.

kk2002s 04-17-2017 03:48 AM

Not from Va but I'm planning on going. Weather has been looking good but a bit nippy for the AM. May have to put the top down Friday so I can drive top down early Saturday morning.

CBRacerX 04-17-2017 04:39 AM

I'll be there - it's an annual pilgrimage. Try and get to Troags' brewery for lunch...

embryoguy@mac.com 04-17-2017 01:50 PM

It always signifies the beginning of my spring/summer :)

Yes ! crossing for good weather!

embryoguy@mac.com 04-18-2017 06:51 PM

anyone else going? weather looks good! Maybe we can meet up for drink fri if anyone is driving in.

PCinDC 04-18-2017 06:58 PM

I will be up Friday afternoon. Staying at Quality Inn Hershey. I'm up for whatever. Had a great steak at the horseshoe casino last year and if nothing else materializes I will be enjoying that.

Ok, my sister lives in the area. Troegs brewery is a good spot if weather is nice. It would be good to see your mods. We can finalize something on Thursday.

PGas32 04-18-2017 11:50 PM

I'll be there, but with my wife's X5 since both she and our son will be with me. If anyone needs something that a SpecBoxster doesn't have, let me know and I can bring it with me...seats, soft top, trim pieces, etc.

PCinDC 04-19-2017 04:39 AM

I need one of the door trim triangles. Was on my list to buy.

I will check to see if I still have those and let you know if I do

embryoguy@mac.com 04-19-2017 04:12 PM

Ok PG, you just made this post more interesting ;) ok thinking .... ;)

Toppy986 04-19-2017 06:51 PM

i was there last year, had a good weekend, Canadian border security was more interested in the case of duty fee beer than the 03 top I picked up

embryoguy@mac.com 04-19-2017 07:47 PM

Hmm you got lucky and got a glass window :) Well done!

embryoguy@mac.com 04-20-2017 06:42 AM

PG,

Do you have the little spray nozzles for the headlight corners :)

No sir, my car did not come with headlight washers - sorry!

embryoguy@mac.com 04-20-2017 06:29 PM

Weather does not look so good Friday :(

So it looks I will just be there Sat morning.

VGM911 04-20-2017 08:53 PM

The Schattenbaum Region of PCA will caravan to Hershey at 7:45 a.m. sharp from Bung's Tavern on Route 130 South in Florence, NJ.

Come join us!

kk2002s 04-21-2017 07:16 AM

Looks like the weather is not going to be good for Top down:(
But it will be nice for walking around and looking:)

Unfortunately, the Hersey gathering has been wet more often than not for several years now. They really need to move it to a later date.

Jeff if you are there I'll buy you a beer at Troegs. Appreciate all the great advice.

Haha damn now I'm wishing I went up earlier! I'm still on the fence about leaving tonight but if I do I won't be there until about 9.

PCinDC 04-21-2017 01:27 PM

Found myself in a caravan of our ancestral heritage, 914s front and back. Love Hershey!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8e096a4d99.jpg

Ok lets meet up boys at Troegs?

What time. Weather is perfect now.

PCinDC 04-21-2017 01:51 PM

I am about to check in at Quality Inn Hershey then I am free. Will text you who else wants to join?

Sounds good. Sun finally came out. Looks like we are clear for the rest of the night. :) Just need to check out your mods :)

PCinDC 04-22-2017 12:21 PM

Hey guys - Just getting back from Hershey. Met up with Huey (embryoguy) Great guy! Had a blast Huey!

I picked up a 996 Turbo aerokit front bumper and lip for $150. No cracks, all brackets, etc. I am going to be picking up some 996 Turbo headlights.

This means I have my minty fresh 986 Litronics with clear trim for sale, as well as a guards red Boxster S nose for sale.

Can anyone tell me what the market price is on the headlights?

rjh986 04-23-2017 04:13 AM

Some pix from yesterday. Got pulled over on way back but received a warning for cruising at 85. Black Boxsters matter! :cheers:
