Default Sold the vette

For the first time in 16 years I am without a vette. I managed to sell the 78 over the weekend and even got to keep a few items from the car.

I'm not going to be getting another vette to replace the 78, though I will probably be back to vettes before too long I imagine. I have another project vehicle I can now spend time on.

I've been here at the forums for a very long time now, I will be sticking my head in from time to time to see whats cooking as it were.

Just wanted to convey how much I've enjoyed spending time here, Ive met and kept quite a few freinds over the years.

Cheers everyone

Well, time sure has passed quickly since 1999. And priorities do change with time. Thanks for your contributions over those years!

Very surprised to hear this, did the emissions hounds in CA get the best of you??

Do I need to drive down to San Diego and shake you a bit?
