Default Been Army training for 11 weeks...

and it's like the Z06 and me just meet. She is so sweet and powerful. I'm mean being in the Infantry makes one appreciate a hot shower and a cold drink of water, coming home to the Z06 and a curvy German road is just heaven. :cheers: :) :flag

I know the drill. Those Z06 checks really add up after, or, 180 days in the field TDY. :flag

Just wait until get get out of Baumholder! I can say that I found other bases in Germany a bit more confortable. But then I was into flying, not tanks... Welcome back ypo your Z06 and the autobahn.

T1 Baumholder aka THE ROCK does suck, but I'm only 80 miles from the Nurburgring :)
Do you have a full up T1 Z06?
