A new owner of ZO6/ZO7, Bonjour de France

Melting Slicks
I am late to this thread but welcome to the Corvette family. In 2005 14 Americans shipped our cars to Europe and enjoyed driving there for 2 weeks. My avitar picture is my car then in Paris. We ran the Old Course at the Ring and ended up at Le Mans within the Parade de Pilotes and with a lap just prior to the race. The trip of a lifetime. We had a wonderful time and appreciated all the European Corvette owners we met along the way. Enjoy your beautiful Z!!!

Hello Bill,
Thank you for your welcome. It was an enormous adventure to cross the ocean to ride in Europe, Champs-Elysées and Le Mans. I think the old classic ring you talked about was Linas - Monthléry. It's always an emotion to do some laps on Le Mans before the race. I was in Le Mans in 2005. The club was European Corvette Club I think. And did you ride on the free autobahnen ?

Salut mon ami français! Profitez de votre belle voiture! Mon ex-femme est Québeqois. La France est un beau pays, mais le coût de la vie est très élevé!

Salut Newton ! ravi de te lire en français ! Merci beaucoup !
Eh oui, la vie est chère ici et ce n'est pas gagné avec les communistes que nous avons ici au gouvernement...
Au plaisir de discuter encore !

Salut Bobby ! MERCI ! super. Il y a tellement de choses à découvrir sur cette voiture. J'ai installé une SD Card pour valet function et voir ce que ces messieurs vont faire avec ma voiture. Finallement, le RDV (rendez-vous) est reporté à mardi chez mon mécanicien, c'est lui qui aura affaire à ces bureaucrates, il y a 2 services différents, un administratif et un autre technique avec essais sur piste : freinage, bruit, pollution.

Merci pour vos félicitations B&B Vettes !

Sunday mars 11, a small ride, 100 km with some beautiful cars, 15 cars exactly and a lunch in a ranch restaurant "la grange de Bory" in a natural park", Vallée de Chevreuse. I recorded by the PDR, but I didn't see what about...soon
Sun was present, a lot flooded roads but amusing roads, forced to clean the car, Vador, on the way back before entering in its hiding place.

Oh , incroyable, incroyable ! tu connais TOUT ! le camenbert bien puant ! lol.
OK I'll do that for you ! tomorrow, promis. J'aime beaucoup le bon vin, le champagne et le rhum (rum in english). Vous aurez un petit Bordeaux en photo mais sans béret, je ne suis pas papy, lol, je porte le stetson ici, très rare comme la Corvette, ça va mieux ensemble !
En attendant, je te mets quelques photos surprenantes, d'ici Chartres jusqu'à Paris, il y a de la neige ! et elle tient, ce qui est rare, 5 cm et cela va tomber encore toute la nuit. Photos prises de ma maison
Celle-ci n'est pas de moi mais date bien d'aujourd'hui, Eiffel Tower under the snow, very rare
A ta santé Bobby, un côte de Provence rosé ce soir avec un bœuf bourguignon

It's frozen water: ideal for a cocktail with rum

Salut Bobby, j'ai conduit Vador hier chez mon mécanicien pour préparer Vador à l'homologation : il a été très surpris du stealth mode et va quand même renforcer le processus pour étouffer la gueule de Vador ! J'espère te rencontrer un jour . Merci !

De rien Richard. Oui tu a raison elle a une grande et elle poura te mettre les couilles en patate si tu ne fait pas attention.
