Default Back after 5 years away

Yes it's true and I'm sure you really care way back in the mists of time(2013) I sold my Vette (C3) but yesterday I traded my Harley for a C4, the interior is a total mess but the rest of the car is not in bad shape and once I have given the engine bay a good detailing I shall be a lot happier. .
If anyone out there has some Saddle colored interior parts that they wish to sell or even give to me Please contact me.
This baby has the 4+3 transmission which is not something I have used before so that will be fun, also has uprated suspension and an exhaust that can be heard on the other side of the world (boy its loud).
Whilst I am very familiar with more cars that I care to remember this is not one I have touched before and I am sure I will be asking you experts lots of questions, so study up.

Gary

Welcome back and congrats on the ride. I'm sure you'll get it into shape and having grown up with manual trannys, once you get used to them, they're in your blood for the rest of your life.

Congrats man, I know exactly how you feel. I just traded my ugly 4 door Jaguar that I hated on a 96 C4

I love the spoiler and wheels on yours. I had a Gold 86 with a black spoiler pretty much identical to yours.
