No,I sold the GTO to a guy called Alan Niven,who still has it. I gave £1050 for it and sold it for £800 a year later. It was a 1970, Deep Blue with Cragar Mags,Carter 4 barrel Carb,High Stall torque Converter and Air Bags to counter act the Torque on launch.Lovely car, but quick only in a straight line. Brakes were terrible and the cornering was akin to turning an oil tanker.Ironically,Alan got booked for speeding the first week he had it. Booked,doing a Minimum of 128 mph.

"Come to the Edge"he said,"I'm afraid"I said,"come to the Edge"he said, I did...and he pushed me off,...and I FLEW.

I bought a Pontiac GTO Ram Air IV from an American living in Scotland away back in 1980.Fast forward to 2007.I'm in a Motorcycle shop in Ft.Lauderdale talking to a salesman when this 10 year old kid asks me where I come from in Scotland.(I do have a STRONG accent)When I ask him if he knows Scotland,he tells me he was born there. He then shouts his Dad,who is also a Salesman and it's the guy I bought the Goat off 27 years before.

They keep telling me the world is getting smaller and smaller but it is still the same distance to my work as it was 10 years ago.

Opinions I express here do not reflect my wife's.
