Default bye bye 81 4 speed car...............

Sold my 81 , glass top 4 speed car on friday. i had been getting hassled by a couple of people who wanted it, as its one of only 2 maybe 3 in the whole country.
then someone prised my 67 Camaro out of my hands as well so the garage is looking a bit empty.............
oh well have to buy something else i guess............................. :D

Geoff H... Ironically, my name is Geoff J. and I own a 1981 4 speed model with glass tops and only 32k miles. Small world, huh?
