Default Celebrations!

This Saturday is my Vette's 37th birthday and I am now 7 posts away from my 1000th post on this forum! So I need to do 7 posts between today and tomorrow ( I am away from home at the moment and have no internet in my Moscow apartment, so Saturday is out unless I come into the office!) to have a double whammy celebration on Saturday!

Now how to celebrate?

Graeme

Congratulations on reaching both milestones.
Hope you have many more years of Corvette enjoyment and many troublefree miles.
Nice looking Corvette you have there; certainly doesn't show its age.
Enjoy,
Kurt

Graeme,
I know what you mean.
For most of us it is true that our cars look better than we do and show their age less. Then again, if I spent as much on me as I do on my 68 Corvette, I might look younger also but it seems easier to restore the Corvette than to restore me. Fiberglass seems to age/hold up better than we do.

Now there's a thought Zymol anti wrinkle cream and Zip's replacement knees for Old Gits!

I'm sure you'll find some way to celebrate, just stay away from the pollonium-210 cocktails

Hi Paul,
I'm sure I will find a way to celebrate! I could always order some Vette Viagra!!

just stay away from the pollonium-210 cocktails
I surely will try, but now that you mention it, I dont need to put the light on when I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night now, I have this lovely green glow coming off certain parts of my body
