Default corvettes down under

As a matter of curiosity how many Australians with corvettes are there using this forum, lets hear from you:-

Model year?

Where you are?

Annual mileage?

How long owned?

hi eddie,
the corvettes here are converted to right hand drive mate for registration purposes!
it cost about $15,000-$20,000 aus dollars and 4 weeks of work to convert them over!
my car had it already coverted when i brought it!

yeah they do drink a bit of fuel dont they!

when i meant " mother country " as that is where us (orignal) australians are orignally from!,England,wales,scottland and ireland!
but now our country is made up nealry half of different ethnic cultures which i cant stand to tell ya the truth!
they dont want to adapt to our way of life,values,customs,religion,language e.c.t!
i suppose it is getting like that over there were you live now as well?
bloody ethnics!!!!
i am proud to have english/welsh in my blood mate!
i dont really see myslf an aussie even though my parents were born in australia, there parents come from the mother land!

any way it was nice to meet ya mate!
and welcome to the corvette forum!
cheers
glen
