Hi ,no,i didnt by a car from him! i remember carrie she moved to the other end of abbey lane.does the little tunnel still exist over the "bunny"that used to come out onto the railway lands?.hopefully its been blocked off!!!!!
   while lund point was being built i remember one of the rivets ,weighing about 1/2lb landing in the street and i seem to remember someone threatening to commit suicide from the top of lund point as it was being built.
