Picked mine up new in San Diego and drove it to New York.... California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and the Empire State. A great drive, including route 66, some devilishly fast roads in New Mexico and great twisties in the Appalachians.

Today me and my son took a trip down to the south coast - hit the open road and Move from fifth gear into 4th and have the needle rest on three grand, then mash the pedal and let the 7 litre V8 do the rest. "Dad it feels like the air is being sucked out of my lungs", my son says, with a broad grin on his face.

Today's was another good trip biggrin

The very 1st trip, bought the car and had previously booked on the ferry Portsmouth to Bilbao.
Off the ferry then drove straight down to Malaga and spent a week in the sun then back up through Spain to Bilbao.

The most comfortable car I have ever had the pleasure to own.

The 3 passes Switzerland, then meeting up with a Viper for a blast to Germany using the mountain roads. Done it the last 2 years talking about doing it again next year as well. The Viper trip to Germany a couple of months ago was good too - blasting round the airfield was fantastic

Slightly off track but, I did Manchester to Inverness via Glasgow, Fort William, and then up the Great Glen to Inverness in a Dodge SRT-10 Viper. I'd love to do it again in a Corvette because it was sensational in the Viper so it could only be better in a 'vette.
