Event Report: Lethbridge Swap Meet 2017

I always enjoy the annual Lethbridge swap meet, it is usually an indication of winter ending and a kick off to the automotive season. I often do not find a lot to buy but get to run into a few folks I know and see some interesting sights. This year was a little colder than usual but still offered the same highlights.

The Outhouse Hot Rod

A rather curious hot rod made its debut on eBay Motors this week. One part funny car chassis mixed with one part out house. Is it crappy or inspired?

Ebay Motors Auction – November 2015

Mazda 2 Cabin Filter Change

My little Mazda hit 60K kms so it required an oil change and air filter swap. In addition a cabin filter replacement was required. Turns out this is an easy task.

Save a rear engine Skoda (or two)

This is pretty time sensitive but if you are in or near Alberta and have a desire to own a pair of rare Skoda 135 GLI sedans this might be your lucky day. These are the best of breed with fuel injection and five speed manual transmissions. The auction is set for August 20th 2015.

Check out the link for the auction: http://www.globalauctionguide.com/alberta-auctions/acreage-sale-for-arnie-and-inez-kreamer-s-262752.html

There is also a nice website with more general Canadian Skoda content. http://www.skodacanada.ca/

Car Show Report: XPress Lube Show and Shine 2015

Looks like I will be missing out on most of the big shows this year due to family commitments. I have been able to take in a few of the smaller shows however. This time it is the XPress Lube Show and Shine held in Lethbridge, Alberta.

Car Show Report: Ben’s Autorama Show & Shine 2015

Another smaller show which I did not take a huge number of photos at. I tend not to re-take cars that I have already seen a few times. There was, however, a few notable ones that I had not previously seen.
