Default Back in a Vette

After I lost my job 3 months ago I was forced to sell my beloved 02 MN6 magnetic red coupe. The day after it left with its new owner I got anothe job. Well after looking around for a bit and wondering on whether to buy a C6, this came along and it was no contest.
I picked it up yesterday and I can't stop driving it.

I believe there are 6 in the England but I think this is the lowest mileage one, it still has that new car smell.

It is production number 1002.

Good stuff, you have a real beauty...

Here's me at Mid Ohio...at an ALMS race last year, did the parade lap



And a few from Mosport, did a track day there, these car's capabilities just blow me away





I love my car :o
