I've just picked my wife up from work in the 'vette in 82 degrees heat. That may be normal to lots of you on the forum, but we're in Devon, England, and it's the first real good weather we've seen this year, and 82 is virtually unheard of! I was working near home. so rather than take my hot work van, I popped home first!

Nice!

Excuses are easy to find when wanting to take the vette out.

Good looking!

By the way..I took mine to get my wife for lunch today too...even surprised her by letting her keep it for her afternoon ride home.

It seriously never gets that hot there? Based on weather and prices alone I've never been able to figure out why anyone would want to live there LOL. What are the pro's?
