Harold lives in the same town...he has about 15 over there, so why so long? I am having an open house in Cookeville, TN Saturday 19th at our shop. We specialize in Opels, and have several here for viewing. Also I drove down through Chapel Hill yesterday with a Manta on the trailer

Okay y'all, I have a big confession to make. My address is actually Lewisburg but I'm closer to Chapel Hill.

Check in O'Reillys and ask them if they know anyone with an Opel, or my uncle's saw/lawnmower shop, the Park office, etc.

And you've lived here how long?

Harold

I apology for Keith's counting abilities. We stop counting at 12!

Harold

P.S. Keith, are you trying to get me in trouble here? 12 is bad enough but 15?

We had a pretty nice turnout at the open house, and amazingly Michael showed up to see some Opels. I think it got him really thinking here about getting more involved in the Opel community. Thanks for coming by Michael.
Keith

Michael,

Welcome to the Opel community! Keith restored my GT. Get yourself a GT and turn it over to Keith and you'll have yourself one fine Opel!

Regards,

Matt
