Well, it's obvious we all have at least one thing in common, we love Corvette's. What else is in our garage?

Anybody got anything even more differnt for daily use?

My work car at the moment is a Corsa VXR

We have a Mazda Eunos (1990) - my daily driver, the Vette (1986), Sciencebirds Fabia vRS and soon to get 1988 Celica GT4. All good fun in our opinion. Oh, and prob too many pushbikes to mention!

I wish I had what Shoebag and VHR have in their garage, but for the record:

Mrs C5ragtop rattles around in a Citroen Saxo she's had from new.
One daughter has a Saxo VTR, the other has a Corsa and I use a Volvo V40 turbo. Of course, I'm responsible for buying, taxing, insuring and maintaining them all - my insurance bill last year was £2,000+grumpycry

My other car is an old 1991 Sierra i rescued six years ago after it was more or less abandoned,i've replaced nearly every working componant and painted the underneath,it was also used it as a mini cab for 3 years before i retired it around 3 years ago.
I love the car as i can do all the work myself even sourcing the dogleg wheels,plans for the next few years are a even more thorough restoration with a quiet V6 or V8 conversion
The car has covered around 450,000 miles,

Other weekender is Bentley Arnage Red Label, daily hack Range Rover Supercharged, but most borrowed is my wife's Chevvy Suburban. Only V8's torque to me I'm afraid. But Z06 the best by far.

Interesting 'mix' of 'other' vehicles here - really proves there isn't a stereotypical Corvette owner!


Cliff - love the Sierra, looks really tidy, I know it'll not be the answer you want, but totally reminds me of the 'Cosworth look' (An easier conversion? - although still wrong number of cylinders!)

[QueenMode] I'm just a poor boy, can't afford two cars [/QueenMode]

But, our cluttered drive holds the wife and (2 of 4) kids' cars too - one Pug 206GTI, one Pug 106, one Ford KA.

My eldest kid is becoming more of a petrolhead than me - I bought her a Ford Fiasco to learn in, and now her and her other half's fleet has an "almost finished" hotrod in their garage, the Fiasco, an MG Midget and an MGBGT.

My other "toy" car is a Ferrari F430 Spider: http://www.auto-journals.com/content/f430s_1_1.htm...

My wife's car is the practical, dog-carrying Audi Allroad: http://www.auto-journals.com/content/a6allroad1.ht...

And I have recently added another Ferrari to the stable so our two year old can join in the fun.



But the Z06 is still the most fun!
