Welcome to C5GEN.

You've got a great shop down in your area - Automotive Technologies. Ed down there does quite a bit of work for folks up here. I seem to get down there too often for mods and work.

Hes already a customer. I got the word first thing this morning!
If Ben stops by with it, I'll snap some mug shots of it and post em up.
I have another customer with the same car. They're beautiful.

Thanks for all the kind words from everyone! I promise to get some pics up, either through Ed or when I get back to Spain (where my stupid camera adapter was forgotten!).

Heh. As Ed mentioned below, I'm already a customer. He will be tweaking my Z28 shortly and then I'll try to sneak some mods to the Z06 past my wife...shhhh!

Yah. I was kinda on the fence about the stripes, but they look nicer every time I check 'em out.

Heh. You were the 2nd person to know I made the purchase. I'll be up to your shop tomorrow and I'll, of course, call first. B

Hey another Z16 in Virginia. Make sure you watch the South East section of the Forum as well. There is a very active group of owners from your area. They plan events all throughout the year. There are events scheduled down there the next two weekends. Look for VA Rat Pak notices when you go to the Southeast section of the Forum and for goings on in the Tidewater area.


Congratulations on the car. I can't wait to park the two Z16's side by side at an event down there soon.
