Where was it held?

Rich.......It was at Docs place

Which town dave?

Bury, North Manchester.

Bury eh? Chris (deliverance), won`t have had far to go

20 /25 minutes depending on the m60 ,  bloody trafford centre

Know it well chris. My brother, used to live in sale. I`ve been all round that area. Can`t remember it though.

if dave ever has another meet i will take you there and back rich .

Well, that`s a kind offer chris, but, having met you, i would take your word for it.

some collection you have       i dread to think what it was like a few years back .

Think of every box, being in the same nick chris. Mint boxes, went into the collection, others, went in the shed. That`s why, the shed was chocka.

Who did you get that aiwa from chris? I forgot. I also forgot. I was gonna be cheeky, and, ask if you would re-belt my trk8180. Never mind.

i like that anything thats not up to the mark fling it in the shed , but rich dust comes off

  ebay ,   i will do your 8180 for you no probs let me order some belts and i will let you know when they have arrived .
