Cheers Gary, brilliant Journal entry, very well written!
Looking forward to reading more about your ragtop in due course.

For anyone else thinking of having a go, please don't be put off by Gary's excellent writing, I'm pretty handy with a sub-editing keyboard and can render most gibberish intelligible...

We would love to hear about some older versions too, so please register and log-in, it's very quick and simple.
You can start by making (non-rude) comments and go on to sharing your ownership experiences later.

Congrats to Gary for a TOP review, it really was very informative from a "real-world" users point of view, especially as he uses it as his daily commute too.

Personally whilst I haven't an issue with car magazine journo's reporting on their 30 minute test drive, I always feel better value for money reading an actual LIVE owner of a vehicle. Provided it isn't written through rose tinted spectacles of course.

I'm especially pleased that the front page of your excellent Auto-Journals features the Corvette in the preferred colour of choice. RED. Just a shame they didn't allow the removal of the Z06 roof!

Z06 roof can be removed you just need to send the car to Caravaggio in Canada for a week or two!

Great article Gary, I remember your red C5 convertible when you lived down the road from me in The Topiary in Basingstoke....great plate too if I remember correctly!

I have seen the modification Nigel, its the pits. Two huge great flanges above your head, mad.

Don't forget the mini entry. http://www.auto-journals.com/journals/Austin?model.... Some of us aren't fortunate enough to have a Corvette to write about!

Yep - I sold the plate with the C5 and I've been told it's still around and being service by Ian Goss (the car, not the plate!).

I remember you telling me about the trials and tribulations of modifying your C4, and advising me to leave well alone... I also remember seeing your C5 Z06 in completely unmodded form....but it looks like you've made a few slight mods since
