I went last year, lots of interesting stuff showed up. Bricklin, Isetta, A row of Volkswagens, a row of Model T Fords, etc. Registration is free and open to any pre-1992 car. How about an Austin Oppo meet up?

The show happens at 51st and N. Lamar. Coincidentally the June Bug rally starts in the same place on Saturday, for anybody with a VW.

I will attend in spirit, as I will be out of town physically. I do endorse the idea of an Oppo meetup.

Thanks for the reminder— I went to that show a few years ago, and it was awesome.

When does it start? I might be able to make it up but it depends on timing.

I think it starts about 9am? Last time I was there around 10am and cars were already out there, I left about 12-ish.

Thanks! I might be able to make that. Kid friendly? I’d have to drag along the 4 & 7 year olds.

It’s just a parking lot with a bunch of old cars and mostly old people. There are no water fountains around, though a 7-11 is across the street, so you might want to bring water if staying for a while.

Are S.A. Oppo’s allowed? Or is there gonna have to be a turf war?
