Not just in USA …
… a total of 2000 GPs were sold, with 415 of them coming to USA.

Given that so many GPs went to other countries, I’ve decided to open up GPMINI.net and in particular the GP owners forum to owners from any country (but sorry, you need to read/write English because I don’t have any other language skills!)
If you’d like to be added to the owners list, get in touch with me and supply your name, GP roof number, and location (town and state or country); if you want to join the GP owners forum then go through the registration process - but be sure to also contact me so I can cross-reference the registration (to prevent spammers getting access to the forum!)
I also started a GP owners gallery which is rather sparsely populated - email me a pic if you’d like to be added in there (perfect pics include you and your GP roof number!)
Finally, if GP owners from other countries have GP news that might be interesting to everyone, let me know and we can “fill in the blanks” on this GP website

We got five of the 11 Nordic GPs allocated to Sweden.
I bought my GP #0120 (the official press car)in December 2006.
A few more GPs have been imported from other EU countries during 2007.
I’ll make sure the Swedish GP owners I know register.
