I have a fun story from Barrie from several years ago. I spotted a pair of Mr Gasket (I think) totally clear SBC valve covers, thought they were cool but I didn't really need them. I added roller rockers and aluminum heads to my engine at a later date and wished I had bought the covers. The next year at Barrie, what do I see but those same valve covers still for sale (same vendor) ... I stroll up and ask the price ... seller wants $90. Hmmm, not really thinking they're worth that to me. I leave his booth and catch up to my wife who was a couple of booths ahead by this time. I tell her that I had found the covers I had spoken about but wasn't willing to pay the $90 asking price. She (who happens to be very pretty and rather large breasted) turns around, walks up to the seller without me (it hasn't even been three minutes since I asked the price) and asks buddy how much be wants. Buddy says "I'm asking $80 but I'll take $70" ... she bought 'em :)

Turns out they didn't have enough clearance for my roller rockers (rockers were contacting the side of the covers) so I tossed the valve covers into the loft of the garage. Several years later I decided to put them on eBay and got somewhere around $120 for them :)

I spoke with my neighbour tonight when he got back from Barrie ... I couldn't believe it when he stated there were TONS of snowmobile parts ... I thought you guys were just joking about sled stuff ... apparently not. He didn't find anything for his car but did by a vintage 7up cooler.

Just remembered another Barrie story. The wife and I wandered up to a booth (again, several years ago) and she picked up an old looking box with some kind of tester thingy in it with a big meter on the thingy. I remember the title of the contraption ... it was a Densometer. She had no idea what a Densometer was used for (I also have no idea) so (being the wise ass I am) ... I told her it measures stupidity (dense can also mean stupid right?) ... I then pointed out that the meter actually moved when she picked up the box (suggesting it was getting a reading of stupidity off of her) ... she then promptly put the thing back on the table, turned to leave and walked right into the tent pole. I then proclaimed "see, the machine does work". She has a great sense of humour so we both ended up getting a huge laugh out of that one.
