The Cyclo is very easy to use for a beginner. Almost no vibration,a lot less likely to over correct with it, but it doesn't cut as fast either.. Gets into very small areas because of the small pads so you can do most everything with one machine.. It doesn't pull in one direction or the other because the heads counter rotate so it's easier on my shoulders. If you don't do it for a living and only want to buy one machine I'd go with the Cyclo, that's what I did and I have no regrets. I'm in my 50's now so the lack of vibration and not having the machine fighting me at times is a big factor. All three are good machines. Also you can put brushes on the cyclo and clean carpet, mats, and with the special soft pads even leather seats. I have the brushes for carpet and mats and they make things look new.

Let's keep in touch and maybe we will go to some kind of event together.My wife is looking into something at Disney for our Corvette friends and family. Not to mention I want to run my Z at Speed World Dragway some time.
will keep in touch for sure !!! how's Lilly doing ?? there's a good chance we will be at Petit Le man at Road Atlanta in October, any chance you will be there ?

Hey Scott,

Lilly is doing fantastic, thanks. She really likes the new Z as it makes her more comfortable that she and it are the same colors just like our Grand Sport was.lol They still don't really know what made her so sick. They even did exploritory surgery and found nothing. The 3 vets at the animal hospital have never encountered anything like it before. We are just thankful that she is well. It didn't look good for a few days.
As for Atlanta, it's way too early for us to say right now. We ended up spending a lot more money than we had hoped to. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE this Z06. It's unbelievable at every level. It's really similar in total power to our GS, but it drives much different. It's been 6+ years since I've had a car with some appreciable power that I rowed through the gears. It looks like the A8's are just going into production and I had a very small window of opportunity to buy a car. Had I waited, it wouldn't have worked, very long story. I'll keep you posted of what and when and where we try to go this year. I think our first real outing this year is going to be Amelia Island sometime in March.

We hope to see y'all at c&c next Saturday. I was really hoping to have the tires changed on our car before driving that far. I just hate to waste these Cup tires on normal driving. I've been searching for someone to trade with. One guy in NY wants to trade, but he is snowed in right now.

Do y'all know anyone else that might be interested in trading? Thanks.

Thanks guys for worrying. I've had some unexpected tragedies come up in my life which I won't bore anyone with....but long story short, it has left me Z-less. Had to make a lot of changes in my life professionally and personally. I will be back in a Z soon hopefully.....and hopefully it will be my old Z.

Lee

Hope all is well. Bad times hit us all and it's the perseverance that always shines through.

Keep your head up and move forward. Don't dwell on whatever has happened.

The old man told me when I hit the trials, you've had it before and you'll have it again.

Lee, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out ok. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to call me.

I have had some recent changes as well (work related) and I may have to sell my Corvette by the end of the year. I hope it doesn't come to that but it could.
