advertise or discretion
« on: February 02, 2006, 10:15:22 PM »
Here's the plan .Get up early in the morning (take a sick day off work ) and get myself off to the swap meet in the next town,so far so good.!
Now here's the problem ,do I wear the honda sohc/4 t shirt and let everyone know what I'm there for. And probably not get a real bargain OR go undercover,neak around and try to find a real bargain.Possibly missing out on some good parts in the process.
I'm sure you all face the  same probs.What d'ya reckon? :-\ ;D
 cheers Jeff.

Activate cloaking device and go stealth. At least stealth enough to not get caught skipping work.  ;)

Go incognito (no that's not a type of ignition...)

When the deal is struck, rip of jumper/fleece/hoodie and reveal Superman SOHC4 t-shirt!

They'll probably say "What's SOHC4? ..."

If you rub a auto jumble fella’s face in the #$%* for the unknown part you got cheap off him…..the next person gets stung….don’t do it…it’s a courtesy thing in the UK ……… well I do it when  I get away from the stall and  give a big YES!  ;D

Around here everyone wears a uniform; OLD coveralls and worn boots. If it's cold, a baseball cap and checked/plaid insulated shirt-jacket. That way no one stands out, and everyone looks poor. Doesn't fool anyone but the newbies, but there's usually enough of them to make it worth it. 
Dude- your 8 layers are showing!
