    I have visited Cattolica twice for mod rallies in 1999, and again about 3 years later and I really enjoyed myself. I keep meaning to come back over for another and go to Rimini, which I've been told is really good. I have a friend Rick Halforte who lives in Italy, I think it is Milan. Maybe this year or next I'll get over again.

    I was in an article in the Glasgow Evening Times on the 12th of January this year, if you want to read it go to Glasgow Evening Times 12th January, and the article is called The Good Old Days. The online article does not have my picture but my picture was in the original article. I am talking about the 60s and collecting and selling vintage, it's a nice wee article.

    It seems to be pretty small compared to other places around the world but there's definitely a scene. I'm hoping to visit Italy next year to visit family and see the sights. I hope I can make it to Rimini!

    hi there, thanks for the add, been looking about your page and i need to get mine looking a whole lot better! hope to add some old mod rally pics from girvan 87 and dunbar 88. Have been in a wee bubble on my own for years so am finding that i am way behind everyone in terms of clothes music and scooters so it is going to be fun getting caught up. Stay Hip and keep in touch!
