Default Bowling Green!

3 couples (and 3 C7 Coupes) just finished a fantastic trip to Bowling Green and a whirlwind 2 day visit. Thanks to Connie Schmitt (and her husband Bob) we were treated to a very cool 5 minute slideshow that captured the essence of the trip in a true Corvette adventure format.

We also had the good fortune of meeting Ken W. From Dallas, TX who had just taken Museum Delivery of his gorgeous 2015 Z06 Crystal Red Coupe. Congrats to Ken on his first Vette, and welcome to the club!!

Ours is the Cyber Gray From FL, my twin brothe's is the NRB from MD, and Bob and Connie's Silver Coupe, also from FL. Still grinning from a great trip and experience, especially the VIP Plant Tour, well worth the money.

Here is th link, enjoy!

Thanks brother Steve for posting, and Connie for shooting the pics of our Bowling Green trip, factory tour, NCM tour, HOT laps at the track, and road tour thru KY country.
What a fantastic two days, and we will be back.

I was there at the same time, saw my car in your slideshow.

Walked by and admired your three manual transmission coupes.

Mine is a little older than the C7s but it was a fun drive up from Pensacola.

Great slide show! Looks like you guys and gals had a great trip! We were up for the Bash and loved every minute and every mile! I haven't heard "Victory at Sea" since my parents played it on their old Magnavox console stereo record player back in the 60s! Brought back some great memories!

Thanks guys for the nice comments. And Bradc6, we too are sorry we missed you. We all loved your beautiful Stingray, and are sorry we didn't meet up.

Really really great slide show; most enjoyable!!! Blade Silver C7 looks perfect. That yellow 1966 coupe with 'gold line' tires and side pipes looks great to!
