Default Original Owners from New?
The Idea is to see how many original owner are still out there.

Simple, I'll start.

Bought mine new Aug 2001 now over 130k of smiles per miles..


At home.


At work. PS, how to scare you wife 11 ways.

I'm also surprised there are only seven people posting original owners, there has got to be more. Maybe this question needs to be posted on the C5 General list.

Considering the Age of our cars, and owners this just might be the Exclusive Owners Club...

3 TR
2 Z16s EB
2 QS

Where are the MY, BLK, W Original Owners.

I purchased my Z16 new in October 2004. It is still a thrill to get behind the wheel!
