First drive today

Post by steved033 »

So I live in Lawrenceville, GA, and there's a pair of roadsters being sold by a fella in Woodstock, GA. I headed up there late this morning and met with James and drove the built/running car. I've never driven one before.

Okay...so you really can't drive one of these things and not smile...right? the happy BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR shift! BRRRRRRRRRRRRR of the engine (esp one with a 4-1 header), just gives a great driving feel/experience that I get in my porsche.

but truthfully, it made my porsche feel big and heavy.

I'm sold. just have to find the right one for me. (actually his '70, the not together car, would be PERFECT for what I want, I can't buy two though, my better half would KILL me.)

Good luck with the sale James!! Thanks again, we'll be in touch.

I'm 45 minutes across the city from WR. I'm up the I-85 corridor. Woodstock is just above alpharetta.

I've met up with richard who's 15 minutes from me (reblues) and have talked online with Paul who's here in lawrenceville somewhere, but haven't met up yet...

Evan,

Warner Robins is about 2 hours from Lawrenceville. A northeast suburb of Atlanta.
