Gorgeous Vette! Especially like the photos in front of the mutli-colored vertical panels!

Was your car originally a euro-spec Vette -- or did you have to convert it?

How much is gasoline in Finland??

Wellcome! I was in Finland, (Stavanger) last year, beautiful country.

Got a friend moving there in July and taking his Dodge Charger with him, any tips on avoiding import duty?

2023 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

Thats a striking looking Vette

Did you have the paint job done yourself?

Welcome aboard. I was at an airshow in Finland a few years ago. My pilot and I did a display at Kauhava at Midnight. One of the strangest experiences I ever had
