Default Worldwide C3 Corvette Enthusiasts

I am increasingly impressed with the number of non-US and Canada C3 Corvette Enthusiasts that seem to be growing around the world. I never really appreciated this until I started hanging around here on the forum. Looks like the secret of the C3 appeal is getting out. I pretty much recognize the regulars like Twin Turbo, Bangkok Dean and some others.

Check in and show us pics of your Vette

Wow, Those are some nice looking cars Now I am curious! What got you hooked on the C3 Corvette when you have all those other choices. And, what kind of feed back do you get from your fellow countryman?, Bet there are some interesting stories out there Let us know.

Burnt71, I know you guys are still sky high basking in the glory of the Steelers Superbowl win, but Pennsylvania is still a part of the US..right?
You guys aren't planning to secede are you????
