Anyone looking to get another Corvette this year?
Discussion
IIRC they're due to start building C7 in summer 2012 so we should be seeing some decent pic's and spec's anytime soon I would think.
In the meantime my C5 (and other cars) are accumulating an ever thicker pile of MOT certificates and tyre bills. £600 spent on a set today and not even the Vette! Doesn't seem worth buying a new
car when the roads are falling apart...

I have to say,i was sad to see it go. Even more surprised that my other half shed a tear. She couldn't care less about cars. But really liked that one. I even tried to reasure about getting a new one. But it didn't work. All she said was."But its not that one"BLUETHUNDER said:

Maybe she thinks she'll have to cancel a few planned shopping trips if you're splashing big cash on a new car? That's about the only thing ever upsets my other half! 
Nice work with the sale.
I've come close to acquiring a C5 so many times now, but I just can't give up my '87 and couldn't justify two Corvettes in the yard even though I have plenty of space.
I've changed and removed so many parts on the '87 now, improving it bit by bit to the extent that it runs, stops and handles like a dream. Its been really good to me in terms of driver satisfaction, takes me great driving holidays too, so it gets to stay! Its kinda like getting up in the morning and pulling on a Superman suit! Only a Corvette can do this!
In any case, 2011 will be the year of the Chevy pickup for the lady, so that's that!!

Oh... you can ALWAYS justify 2 Vettes up the drive 
I'd say 2 vettes should actually be a legal minimum My fantasy garage would have to include a 1957 Fuelie any colour, 1965 396 Convertible in red, 1995 yellow ZR-1, 2010 Jetstream Blue ZR1, 2011 Carbon Edition Z06 in Supersonic Blue.....and that's just the ones I can think of off the top of my head
Oh and a C5-R and a C6.R would be nice
