Default :-) Hello Again, back at it....

Well some of you know, some will be a surprise. But after almost 6 years since I sold my 08 C6Z, I am back in the game. Most know I went back to my roots of bikes and started turning laps at the track for fun and it was more fun than I can remember except for the crashes.

However I happen to come across a 2004 Z06, 1 owner, 26,000kms and lived in heated storage its whole life. I said why not...grab it... so I did. So I managed to finally bring her home a couple days before Christmas

So while I am not giving up this..


I am happy to have this added to the stable.








She is bone stock and I mean bone stock right down to the original tires!!! So looking forward to reconnecting with some old friends and getting to a few events this year like Carlisle and Bowling Green!! Cheers

Default Congratulations Mike

Mike, good to see that you are back !! Beautiful car !!
Cannot wait to see you out and about again. Owning a corvette is an addiction. You can never stay away from for long, I know from experience. You eventually have to give in and get back in one.
Awesome ride, now you have a dilemma of what to ride/drive on any given day....... not a bad thing. I envy you.

Good to see you back
Take care
Shawn

Mike, Congrats on the new addition (Vette), I know someone else that has a 04 Z, hopefully we can all take a cruise this summer like we did back in the ol days. I promise this time, I'll bring my own Vette rather than tag along as a passenger.

For a low mioleage, unmolested 2004 Z06, I would think colour would not matter. Well unless it was yellow.

Congrats on the find Mike.

SUPER find, Mike. Always liked everything to do with the FRC C5 Z06 design. Unique, powerful, light. Should be great fun!

Now... do what the previous owner didn't.
DRIVE the hell outta it!
