Remember me?
I used to be on this forum all the time, when I had my C6 coupe. Sold it and went back to Porsche. Now changed again
to a BMW 7series.
Still, could not stand being away from the forum, and having a little red corvette at home. So I took the plunge and purchased a C2 a week ago. Doing some work to it, so no pic's to show (other than sig. pic) for now.
Glad to be back and I remember someone telling me: You will be back....and that person was right!!!

Welcome back, yes this place and vettes are addicting. How is the BMW 7? Did you get the Alpina 7, 750/760?
But great on your C2 can't wait till you finish it and post up some pictures.

See people always come back. What made you want to get rid of your Porsche? What model was it? The BMW 7 series is nice. What model is it?

I will be in your great state in July and will actually do some hunting, besides sun tan and great food.
I have the 750LI, and it's a hell of a ride. Total comfort and technology. Love the car and ride.
Thanks!!

eaglesfan, that was a tough decision for me, as I loved driving the C4S. I actually went into the BMW dealer with the idea of of buying a third car, a 5 series, but really fell in love with the 7 series. They made me an offer I could not refuse for the Porsche, and I made the deal. I always thought of buying another Porsche, or vette. Came across this really great big block roadster. And thats the whole story.
