Default We got one.

What a weekend. Saturday our Daughter got married in a wonderful Winter Dream Wedding, and today we bought our, hopefully Dream Corvette. We got it up here and couldn't be happier. It is a '99 Pewter C5 previously owned, (well technically still until Friday) to one of the members here from Toronto, hzz. I thought I was excited for spring to get our MGB's out of the garage and on to the road, but you don't know how excited we are for this unveiling. Hopefully the weather will co-operate on Saturday and one of us can drive it home. Thanks Zane and Son. It is a pleasure to deal with such honest down to earth people. I know this car was loved..






Looks like I'm here for the long run folks.

Paul

Thanks, but they are the present owners plates We'll get something just as good though, but at $400 a pop, there might be other things to upgrade first.

Funny how we can buy toys when daughters get married. That's how I justified buying my Cobra replica.

Congratulations.
