Coming Soon!
- 25-27 Early Gas and Tractor Swap Meet Old Iron Park, Shelton
Collector Plates under attack!
You had to see it coming, people abusing the Collector and Horseless Carriage plates, without regard to the legal limitations placed on them. Currently the vehicle needs to be 30 years old to qualify, so maybe that explains the 1995 Mini Van with collector plates. Personally I have felt the number needs to be bumped to 50 years but I am not in charge. You add a State Budget that is deeply in the red and you end up with State Bill 5127! This bill sets new limits and requirements for Collector Vehicle Plates! This information comes courtesy of a well informed Car Guy, thanks RP.
Waterville Rollers announce their 2025 Show
Probably the most fun I ever had at a Car Show! It’s a Car Show, Parade and a Flea Market all rolled onto one. But the high point for me was that group of Ladies that brought in those amazing Home Make Pies! So if you are anywhere near Waterville on the 12 th. of July you might want to take it all in.

Weatherman smiles on Portland Swap Meet!
The weather could not have been better for the 2025 Portland Swap Meet. The Racetrack was full on vendors, the Expo Center was missing a few vendors but still an excellent Swap Meet.
There were lots of happy folks carting out lots of Automotive Treasures. Despite a rumor of this being the last Swap Meet in the Expo Center we saw paper work for a 3 year lease at the Expo Center. The big news was moving to second week in April next year, April 10-11-12. For more details stay tuned, when we learn anything we will post it here.

Silverdale Way gets a Storm Water Upgrade
And the carnage begins! Take it from someone who got caught in a Traffic Firball! We sat there while a Cement Truck blocked all four lanes. If you can avoid the area on Silverdale Way between Bucklin Hill and NW Myer Road, you would be well advised to do so.
The 37 Th. Annual Cruz will return to Port Orchard.
I just got off the phone with the President of the Saints Car Club and he has informed me that the Cruz will be returning to Port Orchard for 2025! There will be some adjustments to facilitate Pedestrian Safety but the 2025 Cruz is shaping up to be one of the best ones yet!
The Leroy Boondoggle
A bunch of the local Car Guys followed Leroy out of town for another one of his great tours. Leroy is well known for getting lost, so Mr. Ron furnished maps for all. It looks like everyone had a good time, I am sorry I missed this one.

Grandpaw’s Wrench
This Wrench belonged to my Grandfather. He worked for Continental Can Company in Seattle back in the 20’s (that’s the 1920’s). I inherited his Machinist Tool Box years ago and this was one of the many tools inside. Every once in a while I get it out and use it. Should I drop that Wrench it will land on this Website somewhere. If you should find it and let me know where you found it, we will award you with a prize. Good Hunting!

Hit the road and ditch the Ethanol
We have all heard the horror stories of the old rides attacked by the addition of Ethanol to Gasoline. It is fixing to get even worse this fall when they add another 5% to the mix! Often attacking the earlier forms of rubber in Fuel Pumps and causing lots of corrosion in vehicles that sit for long periods. Non Ethanol fuel is available if you know where to look for it. Here is a link to the stations that supply non Ethanol fuel in our state. https://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=WA
