I Got some good stuff at the Shepparton swap meet today.

But only because I also own a Ford and a Truck.

I got genuine headlight protectors for my AU XR8 for $20, I think there around $100 -$150 at Ford.

I also got a Chrome exhaust stack for a Truck for $15, normally $150 for a new one.

Also Hella 500 spotlight's normally around $190 I paid $30.

And for the Baja, I got a brand new regulator for $25. :)

I was pretty disappointed.. Not a great day or much stuff around either..

I got a new antenna topper and a suitcase..

Yeah it was a crappy rainy day, but it's good for the Dams. :)
Unfortunatly for Volkswagan people these swap meets are very Ford, Holden and just old shit based.

I've just fitted the Regulator and so far it's working.(It's shinnier than my old one).:) hahaha

I bought a set of the headlight protectors for my au xr6 but didnt end up putting them on as i think they make the car look less aggressive and people on the ford website tend to agree.just make sure that you like them before you start drilling holes to fit them as most people end up removing them and are left with drill holes.Anyway i just went to beudesert swap today and the vw meet here in brisi afterwards and besides picking up a few vw pieces that i needed here and there.I bought a mint and i mean MINT in box generation 1 optimus prime transformer toy set for $20(from beudesert swap).I just checked on ebay USA and some body is selling a MINT one just like mine for $300US and it still has 18 hrs to go!!!!!!I know it isnt vw but thats a pretty good score hey???

Yeah it's amazing how some people sell something thinking it's shit,and somebody else comes along and calls it good shit.
So they pay good money only to take back to there place where it becomes shit again. hahaha :):D

Anyway good score, There are some bargains out there.

Good to hear you guys made it up and back ok on no sleep. Was a little worried...

I can beat that, I left home at 3.30 am and picked up fuel in Chirndside. Then I drove to Seymore and it had stopped raining, So I stopped at a car wash and washed my car then I gave it a Vacuum. By this time it was 5.30 am so I went to Shepparton Mc Donalds arriving there at around 6.am I had Breakfast and than I went to the Swapmeet. hahaha :)
The car got dirty again going home, but the interior is still clean hahaha ;)

live very close, like err.... 3 minutes away, but after what i saw for VW's there last year(3 hub caps), decided to take a pass. It was either that or buy a holden or ford. I'll pass.
