My first wave
Hey guys and gals,
Today I drove my '69 to get "blue slipped" (local parlance for registration ticket). I didn't pass, but that's okay. I'll need to replace the rear strut rod bushings and lower control arm bushings.
On my way back, surprise surprise, a white '80-82 Corvette drove past and we gave each other the wave. This is surprising because living in Australia I don't see too many Corvettes, let alone another C3.
Cheers!
