Easily the best car I have had to date and sorry to see her go, but sold to the
first who saw her.

Thanks to all those that contacted me wanting to view and sorry it went so quickly!

The new owner will no doubt be along to say hello sometime soon and I hope he has
even half the fun I have.

Staying with Corvette of course with a new one arriving soon - more on that shortly! smile

They have indeed - I won't steal their thunder (no pun intended Mark!) just in case they wish to post. smile

Really sad to see it go, but as I have stunning replacement lined up, it makes it easier. yes

Hi
Guys after looking at a total of two Corvettes, have put a deposit on Cuban's car.Really looking forward to picking it up hopefully Friday smile. I Have had a Cerbera for the last four years and a Chimaera for 2 berfore that. The Cerb was excellent and gave me no trouble apart from service costs and fuel. Sold the Cerb a couple of months ago and the intention was to wait for the new year before looking around.
As said looked at one car before Cuban's but it was a bit tatty,after seeing Cubans and a great test drive !! I had to have it ! the car is perfect for my first step into the Corvette world. Just need to look into changing the wheels for the summer (something for a later thread).

Cheers

John

Why do you want to change the wheels?

Wheels need changing because the chrome is starting to flake off and spoils the look of a otherwise great car.
