    I'm making a fast 10 day visit to LA and plan on making the Pomona Swap Meet.

    Any good advice on the best areas to look at.

    I'm not looking to buy anything (But I will!) but guidance would be appreciated.

    I have to ask where od I find the earlies?

    They'll be a lot of earlies at the Rose Bowl this Saturday for the EconoWest meet if you're here by then.

    Unfortunately I'm working every day.

    I'm over to help assemble an old Formula 1 car for a friend and he's never been to Pomona swap meet so we're having that day off.

    The other days will 16 hour days.

    Made it back from LA and Pomona.

    Didn't buy anything, but was tempted.

    I saw my first A100 van on the first night I was there.

    After dreaming of owning a A100 pick-up for 45 years I finally got to see my very first van in the flesh. You guys are spoilt. There wouldn't be 100 early vans if any make in the whole of Australia.

    Funny but on my last day I took a photo of an A100 pick-up (three window) modified to look like Thomas the Tank engine in a car yard in Quartzsite in Arizona.

    Also managed to assemble the race car and have it inspected by the FIA then dismantled it and packed it for shipping home to Australia.
