Default Hello from Virginia

Wanted to stop in and say hello. Just bought a '98 Silver Convertible, 6sp, 38k miles. Been a motorhead all my like. Last Vette I owned was a '69 back in '82. Look forward to chatting with everyone and learning some things as I go along. Not sure how to post pic's, maybe someone could point me in the right direction.
For anyone interested, I also own a '67 SS/RS Camaro, 396/375, 4sp. car. See attached link. Thanks,

Welcome to the Forum and congtats on the new ride.

Here's how to post pics. You need to host them on the web
www.photobucket.com is a good site. You then use the IMG icon to insert the link when posting.

Here's a wave and a welcome from just up the road in Maryland. If you're in the NOVA area you'll see there are a good number of forum members in the area, and most C5 drivers around here are pretty good about the wave.

See ya around the beltway!
