    I thought I saw a flyer promoting an Albuquerque Swap Meet the weekend of March 14 at a recent car show. I figured I'd just Google it later and didn't get all the specifics. That didn't work. Great, I'm forced to admit I'm a ass-hat in my first post.

    Anyone know anything about it?

    Is it the one in Los Lunas? Never been, but I've heard it's good.

    I got a felling the weather is going to dampen this weekend but I'll still be there.

    FYI the Rt 66 Rodders swap the first weekend of May has been moved from the University to Morris field in Los Lunas, same place as the fall meet.

    33 Tudor: There is a swap meet and car show in Los Cruces on the 28th this month, don't know how big it will be, the show is ok but this is the first year they have added a swap meet. Easy run for you. One of my best freind's club is hosting it so I'm going down for support.

    Hey Ernie, just south of Rio Bravo on 2'nd, just past the scrap metal place, can't miss it. I went around one, maybe a half dozen venders, mostly just junk parts, cold, windy. If ya missed it ya didn't miss much. Hopefully the weather will be better Sat but I'm not holding my breath. I guess well have to wait till May to have a real swap. I don't understand how the promoter can claim "hugh" and "NM largest". Even if he sold all the spaces it couldn't be the biggest, the lot's too small. FWIW I guess this is a privite enterprise, I'd rather support the other 2 swaps we have that's promoted by local car clubs.
     
  18. yea but its a start to having more then two swap meets a year. imho i think there should be 4 here. but thats just me.

    Just got off the phone with a guy who called me on a CL ad for some of my junk - he said he has a spot there tomorrow, so he's going...if the weather holds, I may go. If it's crappy, I'll stay in the garage and sand on my pickup bed!!

    It wasn't a big deal but like any swap meet, depends what you're looking for. Picked up an old metal box that fits perfectly in the bed of my truck for much needed storage space.
