Oh, and by the say, I have a C5 Z06, which I love to bits!

Welcome to the mad-house!

Participants fall broadly into 3 categories,

1) The dealers
2) The loadsamoney crew
3) The humans

You'll soon get the hang of it!

Is it possible to give up my humanity for a membership of the loadsamoney crew as I would rather like a C6 Z06 ?

You'll be pleased to hear that as with all "rough guides" the categories are very flexible, and not mutually exclusive!
The rules of the game are simple and anyone with a Vette, or enthusiasm for a Vette, can play! All tastes catered for...

If you aspire to join the Crew but aren't there yet, never fear! Depreciation is your friend!

[SeeFive]

Welcome aboard. It's clear that you will fit into at least one of the categories, and I would just like to add a fourth that it is clear we all, including your good self, fit into.

4) We all have great taste in cars.

Welcome to the madness. Get yourself known on the Thames valley section http://pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&f...

Hi,

I live in Spain but will be in the area on that night or maybe the night before and would like to meet up with some Corvette people, where I live nobody has a Corvette, and would love to meet up with anybody who has a Corvette.

I have a C5

You can please pm me at my name and I will try and be there.

Kind Regards

Neil

As a dealer, and therefore clearly the best dealer here as all others are rubbish, I'd be happy to take your money for a Z06 please.

Most certainly not, it all adds to the mix, and it's good to hear industry views and opinions from dealers...

[xyyman]

There is the little known category 4, The Lunatic Fringe, which has at least one member. Me!!!

[matth76]

zapbrannigan where did you pick up your C5 Z06? And if you don't mind me asking what price was it (can PM me if easier)? I love this car but so rare and hard to find one. I was wondering what the maintenance is like - other than tires which are expensive, what is the servicing and maintenance cost like - parts should be relatively ok due to it being Chevrolet with lots of Chevy dealers around? Did you import it through an import specialist or find one privately? Thanks for any info and help.

Welcome Zap... You should also join CCCUK (cue C5ragtop) and visit www.corvetteclub.org.uk, as it is a great resource for all Corvette owners

Welcome Zap, make sure you bring your Z out to play at the Thames Valley Christmas do, Wednesday the 17th...!
