Tell you what....one day I'll drive the L-88....next day the Z-06. What could be fairer than that?

Sounds like "69 & Z Heaven" What I really want is to take a couple turns at Mossport in them like you once suggested!

Chuck
It's a special feeling reaching the end of the long back straight, and when topping the rise, feeling your C2 launch in the air. I saw a beautiful blue '67 coupe rip through the catch fences one day (just in front of me). He lost it when the wheels touched down and ended up ripping the driver's side off. Yuck!

I experimented with an aftermarket front spoiler for a while but absolutely hated the looks and I wasn't convinced it was doing anything but looking stupid anyway. Still go it in the garage attic.

If the opportunity ever lends itself, I can probably find a way of getting us on Mosport again.....geesh, after all these years I'll probably wet my paints on the first lap!

Hey Paul!
I'm starting to worry about you! Guess I can't interst you in an NCRS membership deal then?
Hope the re-paint went well?
Hi Stephen..... the Judge said the doctors were very worried about me as well :D
The repaint? :cuss I've been trying to get the parts to the painter but he's always either shopping, in a pub or playing Golf. *!"@@$ painters - they're worse than plumbers. I'll email you with the gory details.

Hi 67,
The back is together & looking good, but I still haven't got the bumper cover resprayed (damn painters :mad ). The cover is in my Mums house waiting for the painter to pick it up & she's getting angry "I thought I'd got rid of you & all your bl@@dy vehicles 20 years ago!". Oops.
I thought that the rear end was so easy that I'd do the front end while the rad was being re-cored! The whole lot is now in pieces, most of which is in my front room! As the rad is out I thought it would be an ideal time to change the cam, so I'm now tearing into the engine & have a nice new cam stuck somewhere in customs. Once it's all back together I'll be much closer to my idea of Heaven (just leaves the "middle" to do ;) ).
EastEnders?! :eek: The GF has taken to watching it while I'm under the Vette. It's terrible - all the women are ugly & the blokes are miserable (probably due to the women!). I can't believe that we export that rubbish to Canada. I mean, what have the Canadians ever done to us to deserve EastEnders? Ee-arrr, nah wot I meen, guv? :lol:
Right mate, I'm orf dahn the boozer fer a cupla jars,
:cheers:
