Yes, I asked him about that, it's a track title from a local band he like just after buying the car in '07. He has since moved on in musical taste and is happy for the plate to go with the car.

I suppose I should admit we import, restore and sell Corvettes C2s and 3s

Photo? Is yours a C6 too? Sideways I'm happy with

What's the name of your business?

Build quality not the best and LHD can be a bit difficult at overtaking, roundabouts T junctions but on the plus side great for continental driving. Bit of a head tuner you will find !
Thanks, I joined the UK club a year ago in anticipation of buying one. It's a very quiet forum, reflective of only 900 or so members I guess. You don't own a Corvette now?

Last Corvette I imported from Japan a few years ago and sold it to a chap in France. Japanese really like their Vettes! I found I was not doing a great mileage with the Corvette and always having to fill it up with fuel when I did. Main reason was that I was always asking my wife if the road was clear at roundabouts, T juctions overtaking. In the states you have long wide open roads while over here they tend to be narrow and slippy! Enjoy your car when she arrives !

Wow Dave that is a massive change! The drive back will surely be epic, enjoy it. Feel your pain if the Z has to go but you've replaced one long bonnet with another by the looks!

Its not my business ......I just work there part time ( I'm retired officially) and yes our white one is a C6 with red interior and only 20,000 miles, only 1 pic of it on my phone
This is 3 C3s and my TVR in the shop for winter storage Automotion , Brentwood, Jeff (the owner) is in the Corvette club

Impressive. Would love a Corvette but the wheel is on the wrong side. I got absolutely pounded by a ZR-1 on the M60 in my Supra.

I have never seen anything move that quick in s straight line.

The Corvette looks excellent

amazing cars, I had the pleasure of spending the day with one in Arizona in a balmy 38 degrees

This one was a 2015 stingray and certainly shifted

Hero. I would go out right now and buy a zr1 if they got off their arse and made them in rhd.
Had an opportunity to buy a c5 z06 25th anniversary edition a few years back. Bottled it though and ended up putting a saab turbo lump in a mk3 astra gsi.

"Our" C6

Nice!!!!!! White would have been my preferred colour, but I can live with red. I've started ordering a few bits including a Euro light loom ready to try to make the MOT man happy.
