Greg,
Hopefully you didn't take all day today to drive over to Conroe for this
swap meet. I went, and I was very disappointed. I am a member of the
T-Bird club that hosts this swap meet, as well as an owner of a old GMC
pickup, and it seems to me that the spring Conroe swap meet is getting
smaller every year. Of course, this is also the weekend of the "Super Chevy
Show" in Ennis Texas (near Dallas). If I had the time, I would much rather
have gone up to that one. It's at the drag strip, and not only is there a
great show and swap meet, but you also get to see many of the cars and truck
run down the strip.
There is a much better Conroe meet every year in February (not hosted by the
T-Bird club). If you want to go to one, go to that one.
Regards,
