Ski Roundtop Swap Meet2011 is ON! September 17th

#1 Post by Adam Wright »

Hey everyone-
I just got off the phone with Mike Moody and the show is on and the date is 9-17-2011.

Those of you who have made it out for the swap know Roundtop is a good one, always good deals and parts that have not seen the light of day for years. Unobtanium will be doing our FREE gift bags again so there is at least one reason to make it out.

This is a laid back event where you can just hang out and swap, no rushes, parking problems, or traffic, just sunshine and cool Porsches, all air-cooled, so you don't have to hunt through all the 944 stuff to find a 356 part.

We need the hobbiests to come out and showcase their stuff, the regular guys like me will be there but the fun stuff is the couple of boxes a lot of you guys have in the corner of the garage, this is the stuff that can get back into circulation.

To check out pics from previous years check out the blog:

Hope to see everyone out.

The swap is in Lewisberry, PA

The new website is up:

Seriously, everyone always complains about EBAY is ruining it and the swap meet used to be the way for all of us to connect. Well, this is your chance to put your money (and your parts) where you mouth is. Come out, hang out, swap, shop, or just enjoy the sunshine. The Unobtanium crew will be giving out FREE gift bags to everyone who stops by the booth so make sure you come by.
WE ARE THE PORSCHE COMMUNITY!!!! Only we have the power to make an event like this great. We can't control the price of oil, or the Euro debt crisis, but we can make a Porsche event fun.

I hope to see everyone there, last year I even did some surfing.

Hey everyone-
I just checked the weather and it is looking like sunny with a high of 69, sounds just about perfect. Roundtop is a great laid back event to show off your car or buy/sell parts. I encourage everyone to grab a few boxes of parts to pay for gas and come on down. The weather is supposed to be nice all weekend so you can enjoy the ride there and the ride home.

I know I get on my soapbox about this but, WE ARE THE PORSCHE COMMUNITY and while we don't have the power to change the price of oil, climate change, or fix the Euro debt crisis, we DO have the power to make a Porsche event fun, but we have to support.

If anything you can stop by the Unobtanium booth and get a FREE gift bag full of great stuff like Porsche cars, Factory Shop Towels (Thanks Stoddard), California Car Dusters, bootleg Messko gauges, lots of great stuff!!!!

Hope to see everyone there!

I am bringing a van load of 356 parts and everything I could salvage from a 65 912. I missed pre registration, but hopefully there will be room for me. I also have a 67 912 that I could bring if anyone is interested. I will be looking for 356A bumpers and speedster repro seats.

Can't wait until next year.

Adam,

The Ski Roundtop swap meets happens to be on the day that I'm picking the car up from my Dad. I may have to come by with the car on the trailer and say hey.
