Just picked up my new GP

I just picked up GP #1652 in Southern California. It's an all original California car with one owner, 5600 miles, no accidents.. virtually perfect GP. I've been looking for one for over a year so I'm very happy to have found this one only 4 miles from my office.

I'll post pics soon.

Good Choice I have recently picked up 1772. I am enjoying every minute of my 53 mile commute each way to work.

I was eyeballing that one myself...Sooooo far away from me though.

Seeing it was relatively low-miles, were there any/many rock chips in the paint on the front bumper/hood? That's hard to pick up via pictures.

NICE!!

I still drive mine EVERYDAY summer to winter . Winter is easy with my OZ Ulteraleggra rims and Dunlop snows. In fact it is about time to put my original rims and tires back on GP1292.

Every second in the GP is a pleasure!!!

I agree, really enjoying my new GP... going on a long drive through the Santa Monica Mountains tomorrow with the Mini Club which should be allot of fun.
