"Yankee Joe" truck

[Steve Rooke]

Hi Guys,

I've just found this forum and totally agree with your comments re the Bendigo Swap meet. I live in Bendigo and attend most of the swap meets in Victoria and find Bendigo one of the least enjoyable. Most of the sites are re booked each year by the same people who bring out the same stuff year after year, and use the event as a social get together. There seemed to be a lot of vacant sites this year, and after speaking to an organiser, they will not allow these people who did not turn up to rebook next year.

There is another swapmeet held in Bendigo at Lords Raceway in January I think, which brings out different sellers. I picked up the remains of a squashed merlin there two years ago.

Just to introduce myself, I am currently restoring my first WW2 truck, a "Yankee Joe". I managed to pick up a good cab and LH door at this years Swap meet which will help me no end.

Steve.
