Couple of GP questions

Hi all,

First post on NAM...
I was at the Monterey Historics and saw the delivery of all of the GP's - I've been thinking about one since. I'm trying to figure out if a GP will fit in with my lifestyle, so my first question is -

Will a roof rack with skis on it work with the rear spoiler? (I know, I know ).

Second, anyone know of a NEW GP on a lot in the western U.S.?

Thanks

MarkPo,
Be sure to check this thread:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=87368

And I've no idea about skis - but the spoiler is lower than the top of the roof and lower than the normal MINI spoiler (see this pic) so it surely won't be a problem ...
Of course, fitting a roof rack to a GP! I think one of the mounting positions hits the roof number.

Only 1 car west of the Rockies - excluding the middle of the Pacific!

Motor City MINI, in Michigan has a (NEW) GeePee, #1311 in the showroom available @ MSRP (as of 12.30.06) not western but could be worth the trip. I have no complaints. My guy is David Green 248.997.7529

I spoke to the guy in Portland. He added clear bra and wants $5k over with 1k miles on it.

I will start making calls tomorrow.
