Default 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!!!

Once you have a Vette, It's very hard to do without one. Welcome back

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.
