#605 completes my GP Collection

I purchased from friends. Meet "Guido". Flew into Sacramento, California and drove back to Colorado via Death Valley and the Grand Canyon. Snowed in the Sierra Nevadas and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains but happily was just ahead of a big storm that dropped feet of snow the next day.

1750 miles in 3 1/2 days - was a fun trip.

Well it's indeed "whee", now with 8 Minis in the garage(s)! Congrats scoring that GP1 - great to have friends willing for you to be Guido's next custodian! I viewed the framed placard of "his" features and upgrades. Nice! How about the rest of the story, i.e., mileage (~41k?), known history, how it drove on the way home, etc.
