G'day from DownUnder
Hi to you all. 
Just thought I should introduce myself, I'm new to all this forum stuff (Corvettes included). Although I have had a passion for Corvettes for nearly 30 years, I have only just acquired my first one (1973 coupe), I say acquired, but truth be known, I haven't even taken delivery of it yet as it is currently on a ship somewhere between Miami & Australia (due to arrive in May). The wait is killing me. I have been watching this forum for the past week or so & am amazed at just how much valuable information is contributed by everyone, I have already learnt a great deal about all sorts of issues relating to this breed & feel all the more confident for when mine finally arrives.
Well, thankyou all for the advice & information that I have already indirectly received, & hopefully in the future, I will be able to make some valuable contributions myself.
