I'm sure it was nobody on here but a nice looking silver 62reg GS Coupe outside old Trafford, I was on the way to the launch of the new Mini Paceman but still nice to spot a Vette! And still managed a quick look at what Bauer Millett had for sale too last night!

It would belong to a footballer,if you go on YouTube and put in Chevrolet FC Manchester United it will bring up a 4 min clip of them picking up their free cars, I guarantee it will make you feel really p++++d off they can easily afford a car we would dream of owning yet they get them as a gift!!

Some of you may know I am intimately acquainted with the goings on over at Old Trafford. Part of the arrangement is that Chevrolet gives the team a number of cars for use every year. They are not gifts and are to be replaced each year and sold on.

Rob, if it was a Coupe then it was White, all the other GS's they have a convertibles.....

Maybe not a gift, but as a working man who like many other Corvette owners, and true enthusiasts for the marque,we work hard to run our cars in the current financial climate, we would welcome the use of a new Corvette and really appreciate it!! Even if only for a year!!!

Mitch, any chance that that you can arrange for my wife to get a free Corvette for a year, if she goes and kick a football each day for couple of hours? The Lambo is to powerful for her.lol spin

Not sure there were too many Corvettes - the younger players were banned from having 'sportscars' - and a number of players wanted Captivas for family duties.

I hear they called Nani in on Wednesday morning, took his Corvette keys off him and sent him away in a Matiz.

Wonder if Mitch is taking orders/deposits for those cars now for next year? scratchchin Presumably, will come with the footballer's signature/autograph on the glovebox lid (Ron Fellows Z06 edition style) and a limited edition plaque?

My sincere apologies to Rob, but I have now located the 'missing' Silver Grand Sport. It was one of small number of cars that arrived whilst I was out of the country so I never saw it.

As for pre-selling, it's a little early yet as these cars are not expected to be available until January of next year. Should anyone want the cars signing I dare say I could probably manage it....

Hmm... Unsigned ones will be rarer so worth more I think.

The Mrs saw 4 'Vettes and one Camaro whilst driving through Wilmslow this morning!

3 Vettes together which I can only guess were United players, she said a black convertible (Evra?), 'a Red one' and a Grey or black one (she said they were all filthy dirty) and separately a Black convertible on foreign plates she thinks and a then a white Camaro convertible.

Common as muck I tell you!

Still didn't stop me washing the old girl and spanking the arse off it.

Then I went for a drive in my 'Vette smile
