Am I Nuts???
Listen to that crazy Story...
Beginning of Vette ordering and sales in Germany was at Dec. 04.
First Day in Dec. I asked my GM-Dealer...
(One of the Biggest in Germany in one of the Biggest Carmarkets around the World) ... about prices on 2 C6 Verts. (My Brother and me).
Dealer said: "We have all the Infos about Coupe but none of Verts!"
Mmmhh, since that time I asked at least 3 times a week...
Still the same answer: " believe, we are Vettesellers and we want to do our Job, but there are really no Informations, U cannot order a Vert!"
Double mmmmhhh...
So I posted a Big Help Cry here in CF AND...
I got a telephone number and the name of the Marketing&Sales Manager
Corvette-Europe in Netherland.
I phoned that Guy, told him about my Problem. He promissed to help quick and he said: " All Dealers got even Vertinfos last Year ".
Triple mmmmhhh...
I phoned my Dealer, called him a kind sleeping Idiot a.s.o..
About one hour later he called back and said: (AND THATS THE STORY)
"Corvette Europe forgot to send us the Vertpricelists and Ordersheets, and they still forgot to send us our ordered Vettes,
we should have here in December. They are at Rotterdam Harbour ..."
I dont know how you will feel about that, but how can it be that a simple Customer kicks the Ball to beginn the Vertselling in Germany???
At least the best: I ordered my C6 Vert this monday in Silver/Black with Nav,
Z51 and all options and now I´m half a happy man.
The Other half will be satisfied when my Baby is my Garage.

Hi RJ,
I was born at a small Place about 20 Mls. away from the famous
Nuerburgring, where the C6 was very well tested. I did some nice rides there with my C5. I live in Eastern Germany now and about 2 Hours to drive, there is the new Eurospeedway, the only Tri-Ovaltrack in Germany. (Zanardi lost his Legs there).
Anyway this is a great High Speed track... and believe me,
I`m gonna try it.
But with the "Autobahn" here and mostly NO Speedlimits, every ride is a big Adventure....
