Hello from Texas
Hello all.
I've had a Donnybrooke Green 1970 LT-1 roadster since new and still enjoy it. It was made on the last day of production (along with a lot of other LT-1s destined for Texas). Serial number is 100 from the end of production.
When driving it today, it seems that I'm directly connected with everything that goes on. With modern cars, I feel insulated from the workings, even on high-performance vehicles. That's a feature, definitely not a complaint!

I agree with the insulation from modern cars. Not the same anymore, however, modern cars have vastly improved in other as aspects (along with cost, of course).
Welcome aboard and glad to have you. I'm in North Texas, btw. : )
