GNs also previously discussed in Chevy Rick's photo shoot in the post below: http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6452.msg77654#msg77654Not all the pics are there now - times goes on and tinypic must remove or lose some and either replace them with a sign or other photos. The latter is really weird. Tony's link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GN_(car)
