So, that got me to thinking - "If you drive me - Post em." I'll start













That is a great looking Vette

Thought for sure I would see a pic of my ole girl on the front page....

Never thought I would see this thread take off like it did...! There are a ton of beautiful C3's and love looking at each one of them. It's great to see other owners have the same passion and love for these cars as I do....Thanks,

I've put nearly 5,000 miles on my Corvette so far this year (since Jan).

My wife and I went on a driving holiday in early March and covered about 1000 miles in the Vette over 5 days. Here are a few mobile phone pics from the trip.:













And for something different, here's some in car and out of car video from a hillclimb a few weeks later. I am still getting used to the car, and it was the first speed event I'd run in any car for a couple of years, so don't be too hard on me...:

Great inspiring photos on this thread.
Summer is slowly coming to Scotland and the '76 is nearly ready.

Here's a video and a couple photos from last summer on a cruise day with some other fast cars

Hey there is a group of us corvettes doing a run from Railroad Pass to Laughlin on 5/7, PM me if you want to join us. We're going to eat lunch at the Colorado Belle, see Davis Dam, then cruise back.

I have a 6 speed and the other guys are C6/C7 so you'll have to keep up!

Reading through this thread prompted me to upload a GoPro video I took last weekend. Here is a freeway video showing its manners with the current engine / T56 / 3.36 setup. Go to 3:45 see 6th gear.

Cool vid! Given anything over ~80mph is loss of license territory over here, I think my 5 speed was the right choice.

Reminds me though, my wife took this video on my phone while we were on our trip. Slightly different scenery to yours!

Re-edit: Vid fixed.

Re-re-edit: Now it works!
