I done bought me some wheels y'all

I suppose with a title like that it should have been a pick-up, but it's a Yank so I feel justified!
She's a 2005 C6 manual with low KMs and a decent service history.
Already got a couple of niggling issues to sort, but Saluki will shortly be on the case.
It's nice to have something with power after 8 months of hire car dross.

It's an LS2 with the Z51 performance package.
rated at 400 hourses and they all feel in fine fettle... it's a decent drive actually, just a little quiet.
Bought from a private vendor through Dubizzle, it was a totally painless process.
I actually live in Springs, just spend most of my social time in the Ranches.

Not to piss on your bonfire Del, but I also got a new car today - I believe I have reached the pinnacle of Automotive perfection, a car that turns heads everywhere it goes, and being a MY2012 it features all the latest technological advances, like a CD player.
Yes, I know what you're thinking, something exotic and Italian - but no, I present the NIssan Sunny 'Classic'.
Who needs a big V8 when you have 1.6 litres of power to play with...

I tried negotiating with the company, saying give me an allowance instead - but they would have none of it, their attitude towards cars is somewhat 'Soviet'.
I'm doing my best to run itin as per the book, warming it up gently and not over-revving it and varying the revs whilst driving into the ground.

Cracking purchase Del.
When I first arrived here a colleague had exactly the same model, took me for a spin on second day at work, big grin factor.
His roof creaked a lot when it was on but otherwise was a lovely place to sit.
If you work for Nokia, it's probably the same car lolWhen I first arrived here a colleague had exactly the same model, took me for a spin on second day at work, big grin factor.

Can't talk about the roof creaking, I took it out 5 minutes after buying the car and it's not been back in since.
I don't recall mine creaking on the test drive, but I've bookmarked the thread you linked to anyway just in case.
A helpful bunch Corvette owners, I got onto one of the US based ones yesterday and within 30 minutes had a copy of the full factory spec of the car, recalls, warranty work etc etc.
Just need to sort some new rear boots now.
