One step closer to the GTV6

One of the conditions of buying the car was the mutual agreement with the wife that my 92 Camaro had to go. I sold it today.

The new owner of the Camaro really does not want me to change my mind. I am delivering the car for him this weekend.
It is actually a little sad. I have had the Camaro for 5 years and added over 80K miles to the odo. I never had real problems with her except for normal maintenance. As she is sitting on the picture she has 183K miles on her and looks better than the day I bought her.
Jim, if the wife's one flaw is the fact that she only allows me one project car at a time, I can live with it. For the rest she prety much leaves me alone when it comes to my cars.

as a friend said to me many years ago. . . .
"between an alfa, a boat and a girlfriend something has to give!"
he was so right, sold the boat for a new top end, lost the girlfriend for, well no real loss anyway. STILL HAVE THE ALFA!
mericet, if there is any good news there are women in the world who accept gtv6 owners. take my lead, hang around at the drags and find a mechanic with a HOT daughter! only downside is the old man is still convinced my car would run better with avgas, a supercharger and blow through carbs. . .

Mats, my wallet does that already. I think I am in trouble.
Carel/Barry: Luckily I grew up in a tough country. Not having to worry about tsotsi's and the tokoloshi makes this a walk in the park. Consider this too, when I was still a Kyalami marshal my wife would come to the races with me. She would sleep in the car (inside track) between the Esses and the mineshaft until about 10 or 11, wake up, raid the cooler for food and then take the binoculars and point out the good looking girls in the stands to me and the rest of the marshals between races.
I have been toying with the idea of selling the Camaro before this anyway. It was a t-top car and had the structural stiffness of a damp noodle. (For a wet noodle you had to buy a convertible)
