We will be having a Grand Re-opening/Re-launch in the next month or 2, date to be confirmed
it`s a big double move into a new shop, here in Murarrie just down the road from me,
Very close to Gateway Motorway so easy to find & easy access

we will (more than likely) be having a "Re-opening Party" at the new shop so stay tuned
:-)

we have secured our old """ReadSpeed Mini Mecca""" Phone number (07)33999999 too so we will activate that within the next few weeks & let you all know some more details as the place nears completion.

:-)

& yes we will set-up an "on-Line" store very shortly too & will add bits & bobs as we go along
LOTS n LOTS of Genuine New Old Stock will become available so you may have to get in quick for the bargains.
:-)

cheers
Matt
