Title: Is my memory starting to go?
Post by: FIL S on August 07, 2005, 10:14 AM: Hi all,

When i was a lad, way back when, i had a pair of Arayas on my Aero Pro Burner. Me and my mates always knew them as 7W's, but when i mention them to people now, they only know what i mean when i refer to them as Araya aero's. Is my memory starting to fade. Who' right?
