Yesterday .... about 10.00 in the morning heading toward Castlepoint ... a gorgeous bright yellow C3. Also saw a blue C5 a couple of days beforehand heading toward the Cooperdean roundabout.

Anyone on here?

Hi Andrew - glad to see you've had your eyes peeled. Neither of the cars were me, as mine has been sold and now resides in Fareham.
If the yellow one was a convertible then it was probably Pete Campbell (Area rep for the Corvette Club) who also has a black C5.
There is a blue C5 in Bmth with the reg .....TOY but I have only spoken to the driver once as I pulled alongside him one day - have never seen it up at Sea View.

Sea View is also known as Constitution Hill. You basically go through Upper Parkstone to the end and turn left. It is a meeting point on Sunday afternoons for local american car owners and there is usually between 5 and 20 cars ranging from 1950/60s through to Vettes. There's a tea kiosk. Why not pop up sometime - if you email me, I can meet you up there. If anyone else reading this wants more specific directions, then email me privately.

Well yellow, gorgeous, convertible, C3 are all adjectives that apply to me! But was it a '73 and did it have 454 insignia on the bonnet. I suspect not as mine was at home at the time.
Interestingly it was spotted by somebody else that day who thought it was me at first. Looks like we have a new vette in the area

No idea about a 454 logo - it was raining and the car was on t'other side of road.

1970 kasvatati Big Blocki töömahtu taas - seekord juba 454 kuuptollini (7440 cm3) ja võimsust oli 390 HJ. Aprillikuus tõi Chevrolet avalikkuse ette keskmootoriga prototüübi XP-895. Samal aastal esitleti ka 350-kuuptollist LT1 mootorit, mis tootis 370 HJ. 1971. a. ilmus mootorivalikusse ka 425 HJ Big Block. read more www.tqhq.ee/corvette/c3.html

Saw a muddy 454 white shark thundering by few days ago . . . great piece of sound. Very bling guy inside . . .
