New Carpet Needed

New York Get Together

This show is the next major one in Suffolk. It is towards the end of the month.
I will get back to you shortly with the exact date.
Other than you I haven't had any replies yet from Eastern Region or New Yorkers. A few Berettas...Five or more, shown together, would be cool!

New Carpet Needed

New York Get Together

I see what you mean. I like older Chevy small cars. My grandfather had a new Corvair in '65. I was six and liked it a lot. After a year of pestering from me, he bought a new Vega in '72. At 13 I liked it a lot. In '88 i was selling new Chevys and drove a Black Metallic Beretta GT. I was 29. I liked ...
