Hey now! I represent that remark....smiling smiley

I already have two 4-door Asconas anyway. And a plethora of other Opels. In fact I just fabb'd up the intercooler for a street 4-door Ascona I'm putting together over the winter.



And yes, it will have the Steinmetz flares...





Where exactly in NH is this car located? My friend Jim MacMahon expressed interest in one of these for the street. He's living up in Unity now.

Who needs those things anyway? Just make a new one, and while you're at it move it back 7".





Yea, I've got issues Dave.

Probably that place on 101A just to the right of the light when you pull off 101 into Lyndeborough.

John has it right, since the place wasn't there 10 years ago when he last trod in this area, he must be Captain Google today, but he knows the intersection to go to Graham's.

West 101 to 101/101A intersection in Milford, then east 101A (Elm Street) and the place is on the left near Medlyn Motor (former AMC/Jeep dealer that got shafted by Cerberus/the government and lost the Jeep franchise).

No I recognise the terrain in the background.
Really (I have some strage ability to remember terrain---odd skill. I've remembered tracks in Europe I haven't been to in 35 years sometimes from only a photo of a single corner)(And track layouts too from way back)
