    For anyone interested in a little nostalgia before the 25th nats, I've scanned some old photos and placed them on my site - www.gsxcitement.com

    Hi Lance -

    You've done a great job with your website!

    Thanks for taking the time to satisfy to needs of some of us 'Buick Junkies', especially whan we are not afforded the oppurtunity to make it Bowling Green :beer

    Thanks guys. It's been a lot of fun. Fortunately we live in an age of cheap and powerful computers, scanners and software. That makes scanning slides, negatives, and photos much easier. A lot of them were so dark they were unusable back when they were made but software really cleans them up. Still not great but they're the only history I have. Just wish I had taken more, documented more, and taken better care of them.

    Brad Conley has always been a really nice guy as most were and still are. The cars and friends came before the egos. You would never know that Brad owned what is arguably the most valuable Buick in existance. Mark Lewis was the same way.

    Lots more to go through. Unfortunately I didn't keep the years separate. The initial batches were on slides and most were marked with the year or I could figure them out. Most of the rest will just be a mix of favorite shots from various years.

    Lance,that is a great picture and one I remember seeing many years ago. The funny thing is back in 1987,Brad gave me a ride in his GSX,and it looked exactly like it does in this picture. It was pretty neat riding along and seeing that beautiful leather interior. Brad's got a real cool car! :TU:

    Brad Conley RIP Staff Member

    Wow!!!

    That was awhile ago...let's just say I've added a "few" pounds since then :Dou: . Here's one that has my Dad in it...he's standing next to his Black GSX. Man, I miss him.

    Thanks Lance for posting these...brings back a lot of memories.

    For what it's worth, I really liked the Prototype better pre-resto. I guess that's just how I was used to it.
