The C3 is one of the few cars that's as much fun to look out of as it is to look at.

This was a Hillclimb event I ran yesterday. I'm still getting the hang of driving this car, I did get smoother and quicker on later runs, but forgot to turn on the camera... Bit of a tight little course for a Vette. Pretty sure at the end of the day I was the quickest (if not then close to) running on regular street tyres instead of semis or slicks.

I realized the other day, i've put more miles on the Vette than my daily driver in the last month. We did 250 miles last weekend to the mountains and back.
