SweetSwapMeet-find: ITALMECCANICA supercharger

#2 scored big time at the legendary "Ekeberg" swap meet 2 weeks ago... This is where VW-voultures and junk mix two times a year - and every now and then a real gem shows up. This very rare, very nice ITALMECCANICA compressor / supercharger / blower made between 1951-53 for the 25HP VW-engine was this year's big prize.

Much more about it over at TheSamba:

Now .... what car to put it on?

#7 in hot pursuit of #6, two oval window bugs on their long way back home after spending the weekend in "trivelige trøndelag"

Quite a few stayed on for more socialising and beers into the late evening.

Thanks everyone for making it such a nice little event. The Screwdrivers salute you all.

When everybody had had enough burgers...

we wandered down to the Alien basement where Leif aka #1 had prepared some slides and treasure hunting stories.

While Alien kept the BBQ warm, people were hanging out having a good time.

The BBQ navigation-rally awards are ready
