Hi folks - I'm retired and living on the coast of Oregon at Florence. I drive a 1995 SSE Bonneville- and though a bit old with 130k miles the car runs really good. I've worked and lived in many places in the U.S. and abroad as I was a newspaper executive. I live on a ranch, on a river and I'm surrounded by wooded mountains and valleys. I'm originally from Minnesota having left there in 1967 for Florida. I was widowed for a number of years, but now happily married. In addition o my wife I have a nephew who lives in Washington state. I came from a large family, but they are gone now. Well that's about it for me. Lorenzo
New from Florence Oregon

And if you're into working on it yourself, you'll find no more knowledge than is available here. Just post any questions you have in one of the many appropriate sections here and you'll get loads of help. We all love pictures too, so get some of your Bonne and let us see it.

Re: New from Florence Oregon
What part of Florida were you in?
And your 95 SSE, any idea what the Build date is for the car( on the door )?
Some of the 95's were freaks of nature...

Re: New from Florence Oregon
There are several members in Oregon. Might want to check out the PDXCGP.com site as well. There is a pretty active group there. Dan is from Coos Bay right by you. He has a GP GT with a few mods and owns a mechanics shop specializing in GM and the 3800.
Big Bonnie meet happening right now in Corvallis. Think the cruise to the coast is either today or tomorrow over to Newport. They will be racing in Woodburn on Saturday.
