autojumble


there is no worst feeling than coming home from a autojumble with money in your pocket but that has been the case with the last two that i have attended yesterdays one was very poor but with the weather and road conditions been so poor it was hardly suprising,i braved it with my father and brother but with a visit to mc nultys bike shop on way home it wasn,t a wasted journey ,i got a chain for the sherco.my father was buying pasts in mc nultys over fifty years ago of Brians father .I myself first bought in that around 1980 so you could say we have a tradition of shopping there.here,s a nice dick mann rep
