Here's a comment from a recent visitor...
Says Warren T Hanbury (WARRENS-WARRIORS.@prodigy.net) - "I just bought My computer a few days ago and I never ran one nor ever seen the net. I somehow made my way to your GTO site and am amazed at what you done. It was instantly my favorite site. We have several Goats including a 1970 RA5 Judge,1969 RA4 Judge,1969 RA4 convertible and others."
