Do you know the small town named Pembroke? In fact it's only a few streets in the woods. My uncle lives there. We were there about 5 days (1996), before we went further to LA. I rember me a lot of things.

You know Dick Day Moters in Concord? I was wrong, I was there in 1994, not 1996. I took some pics of D. Day moters, there was a nice orange vette for sale.

Here's a good one!

Hello from Barnstead NH!
Last fall I finally bought my mother-in laws 1971 Opel-GT, after 18 years being married, my inlaws must like me now! My wife and I went to high school together (we were friends then) and she sometimes would drive it to school . I drove it once... at the time (1977?) I had a 1971 BMW 2002. That was a fun car. Fast forward 20-30 years and the car is now in my barn undergoing a bit of an overhaul. Hope to be driving it around this summer.

Any one looking for a GT

Any one looking for a GT to restore. Here in central NH there is a 1970 GT sitting in a barn on bias ply tires last regestered in 1978 showing 5000 on the odometer. I had made arangments to buy this one and six othe cars last Nov got three seller started dragging his feet just before Xmas called him again yesterday the deal is done, he seem's to think that I was ripping him off because I didn't give him all of the money upfront. So if someone is interested he lives in Deerfield NH phone # is 603 463 8876 and his name is Ivan Nelson hope that someone does better than I did

My company is based out of Manchester, and just moved from Concord. I will be in Mancester all next week! I get out there often, but always fly.

Can't remember seeing any opel during my 5 day stay. Then went further to CA and saw many opels
