Do you have any connections to german Vette drivers / clubs ?

One problem in Germany is that you pay taxes once a year based on cubic inches / cubic centimeters ... the bigger the more Uncle Sam loves ya' .

Sure many would love to ditch the straight 4 & 6 cylinders ... but tax not cheap .

Cool , get some European blood in here ... :cheers:

I did visited one meeting in Germany and it looks like they have a lot more kitcars. Most of them are far from original.

You are right about the Cubic inches in Germany but since there is no substitute for CI more and more Germans are starting to love this great car.

In Holland the taxes are based on price and weight. We're more on the money here. :(
