Default I'm BACK!!!

Hello My fellow C4 brothers and sisters....

It has been a while, I have been able to make only periodic posts over the past 6 months or so as a result of a major move, new job, etc. However, I am finally settled in my new home, just outside of Edmonton, AB Canada and looking forward to re-establishing some Corvette Forum connections. I see some new names already in scanning C4 General. For those of you who have joined recently, or have forgotten me from the past, here are some details:

1991 Corvette Coupe
Steel Metallic Blue
A4, L-98
72,000 miles
Mods: Aftermarket ZR-1 rims, Cut lid, K&N Air Filter, Coolant bypass

Here are a couple of pics. of the car.

I really seriously love this car - I grew up around Corvettes, my Dad had a Maroon 66 Big Block Coupe. He and my God-father (not THE god-father) used to buy and sell mid-style roadsters back in the 80's when you could pick them up for a few grand. My dad now drives an 87 vert.

I owned a 74 for a short time a number of years ago after I finished University, and then bought the 91 a little over a year ago. I bought the car down in Austin, TX, flew down with my Dad, and drove it back to Canada.

Anyway, just wanted to say that I'm back and plan to contribute to this forum on a far more regular basis once again! I have always enjoyed the forum and feel it is a great service to all of us Corvette owners, both in terms of info. sharing and just being able to relate to to others who share the same interest in this great sports car.

Cheers!

Thanks Ron - did you sell your '87 or did you decide to hang on to it?
