Just arrived at our hotel in Bowling Green and there are Corvettes everywhere I look!

Off around the factory and Museum after some sleep (1am here) so I hope
to be able to post some images at the end of the day.

More later.... yes

You really do know how to make people jealous! I can see a Kwik Fit and a sandwich shop - plus with no Corvette in the garage for the next few months it's going to be rather quiet on my estate.

Enjoy!!!

Take a picture of any yellow convertibles and I'll pretend it's mine - being built this month according to Stratstone (though God knows why it takes another 2 months to get to the UK after that!)

They can only drive quite slowly over the sea bed...

Enjoy BG - whish hotel are you staying in and what's the event there (Gixer, Richard Ross, Nutz and I all went to the 'C4 Gathering' there a couple of years ago)

Try out the Go Kart track while you're there - it's super cheap and a good crack racing the locals!!

laugh I thought the low drag headlights on the C6 should've improved the Atlantic transit time

Well good morning - a beautiful day, frost on the ground as I look out the window.

Plenty of photos / video will be taken today (apart from inside the factory as
that is not allowed) and I will be doing a special C6 ZO6 feature at www.c6zo6.co.uk

Off for some pancakes...

Have you tried asking them if it is Lawn Green Bowling or Crown Green Bowling that they do there ? I've always wanted to know !

Had a great day at the factory and museum as well as emptying my bank account
at the museum store! hehe

So much to see and the factory tour was really cool. If I had one grumble, it would
be that you can't see the completed cars outside all lined up, so I had to resort to
chasing transporters up I65!

Thankfully, this one was parked up, but a cool sight for us Vette starved Brits. cloud9



A nice touch was the Corvette priority parking out front at the museum.



One of the stunners at the museum is David Rhodes's IMSA GTO Widebody. lick



Anyway, off to a dealers tomorrow to talk Z's..... More upon my return.

I take it you're there to take advantage of the "Museum delivery" option on your new car?!

I wish, but no, mine will be a 2007 delivery from Stratstone, so I'll come back to see mine in build.
