All prices are o.b.o.

 

I'm also bringing about 10 datsun L-series t-shirts that I made.  Mostly black/blue, mostly L and XL. Some grey, a couple of white ones. All with light blue motor/lettering.  $8 bucks each.   vvv

I come to most of the ER events from San Diego. And once I get there... am always grateful there is such a GOOD, low-key event, with so many knowledgeable Datsun sources,  so close by, where I can find and sell parts and network with other Datsun affecianados to learn how to make these little vehicles so much fun.

 

But of course, before every event I always grump to my wife first, about having to get up at 3:30 AM, load the truck, and having to make the 2 hour drive, just to get a good spot next to my friends spaces.

 

She reminds me it is no different than getting up, and prepping, and hauling  to catch the boat to go deep sea fishing, and I never complain about that. But I still grump for every show.

 

Then I learned last Sunday that there is a whole bunch of regular sellers (7-8, some whom I already know) that trek all the way down to Eagle Rock for these shows from... San Jose / SF Bay area!

 

I'll never grump to my wife about prepping for an ER show again. You bay vendors are hard-core, and I greatly appreciated you for making the long trek down, and adding so much to the event.

When is the next one, seriously thinking about the truck down from Olympia with 620 and 521 parts?

[Tolkmod]

i think this turned out awesome...

Ta-Dah!

He typically has them every 4 months on a Sunday. That would make the next one in November, probably the first or second Sunday since Turkey Day falls later that month.  I may easily be wrong. (maybe because I was looking forward to it so, and was dissappointed to learn they're every 3 months vs. 4)  but I thought this last one posted on the events page a bit later than usual. But even so he still got the word out a month in advance!  Jose's great and networks with everyone. He'd love to have another seriously knowledgeable parts vendor like you with your luck of finding good stuff. You can always PM him if you're thinking about making it and haven't seen any details.

 

I was selling left-over 620 parts at this past event to clear out some working space in my garage and make some project money. In my experience the So Cal guys aren't as vocal posting what they're looking for vs. OR or WA, but if you post a list in advance of what you've got for sale like I did,  the ones needing it will typically either contact you or turn out to check it out. I was happily surprised to make a couple online sales from it ahead of the event this way. And there were a lot of guys at my space asking for typical parts I just didn't have, that I'm sure you probably would.

 

If memory serves me I think Jose says he typically has 48-50 vendors at ER, but only a few with your volume. This time there were less, probably due to it being summer, kids out of school, vacations, the PM heat, etc.. But the lanes between the spaces were still filled with cars for show.

 

It would be good to see you and your latest finds... maybe bring HahMuck along for grins?  Maybe a little Cali sunshine or bikini beaches might brighten up his envious disposition?

[BLUEBIRDSSS]

I want to thank everyone who supports this events you know it's not easy putting this events do to rules and regulations. If anyone finds a bigger place where we can do this event please let me know. I'm always on the lookout but it's not always easy to find a bigger place. also I wanted to thank the ones who has to travel far to get here we couldn't do it without you guys. Thanks again and we will see you guys in November. Be good humans.

Ted came over pretty amped the other day talking about maybe, finally,  coming down to Eaglerock  with Datsun parts ,, and his dads got this big ass dodge he could load tons of parts in... I said he should totally do it even if he only breaks even ,, ( he loves to buy as much as sell  :lol:  ) ,, If it ends up being in October there is no way i can ever come,,, but November , that could be do-able ride along keep the driver awake situation.
