Corv99 2 Posted September 11, 2011 after documented watch frenzy on here showing my impulsive nature, I have done it again on a bigger scale!!!!!!!!!!! I have owned an American Corvette C3 Stingray (1980), which I have had for the last 10 years. summer use only, love every minute of it.... it now is in need of a ittle TLC and some money spending on it, with it being 30 years old, there is always that thing in the back of your mind.............. whats that noise... hope it doesn't break down when you take it on decent runs. Long story short, test drove newer version lovely car, full convertible, knocking on for 400 BHP, more kit, more reliable...... offered a trade in deal wit mine.....................oh dear, some serious watch money away in tyre smoke. Have I lost it?? nuff talking, photos... OLD Car New one Have to say I'm quite excited about it, 5.7 V8, insurance less than my diesel Audi..... luvverly jubberly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corv99 2 Posted September 11, 2011 Good girl, I look forward to photos mate :P I knew you would after we last talked Once I drove it, it was game over!! same thing happened when I got my C3....devils work I really fancied an older 911, but running costs I think will be much steeper and the sound is awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corv99 2 Posted September 11, 2011 Oh hell - why wouldn't you?

Crusader 0 Posted September 11, 2011 Quite small picture for such a big car Congrats on the new deal, Corvette is really something, especially the noise it makes. Too bad there aren't many around here in my country. 1 Mustang per month is usually the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
