Biggest vacuum haul of all times

[goadie12]

First off I would like to thank Doug Smith for all the kindness hey has shown me the last three days.

It all started a few months ago when I joined the vccc and I had posted a thread about who knows what any way doug smith had commented on some pics I had posted. We started talking and one thing led to another and I sent him a few pics of my collection and he sent me some of his and he said that he would love it if I came down to moosejaw to look at his collection and he also said I would be able to look through any vacuums he didnt want and that I could have for FREE.

When I hird that i almost fell off my chair I was soooo excited but there was one problem i had to convince my parents to drive me seven hours to moosejaw to look at some old vacs. And to my surprise when i asked they said yes.

So anyway months passed and Doug and I kept in touch until the day came it was march 26 when we drove to moosejaw to meet Doug.

We rented a big white van because we had no idea how much stuff we would be bringing back with us.

The van
