Hi

My name is Jonny and member of the New Paddock Corvette Club Belgium.

My looking at my hitting counts of my personal website and hobby www.carsthestars.be, I came out to this forum. I've never knew that the're so many Corvette forums

I live in Diest, Belgium and I'm a Corvette C4 lover, for the moment I'm looking for one here in Belgium. But for now, I drive an other American car. My daily car, a Shale green Chrysler Pt-Cruiser Limited Edition. On regular bases I visited American car meetings in Belgium and the Netherlands. I also combine my hobby of photography with it and post the pictures on my site.

I have some other great Corvette pics, it there a special topic for posting pictures? Already thanks!

Thanks for the nice welcome

The Corvette search goes on. It's not in a hurry, because of the very expensive road tax here in Belgium for a Corvette under 25 years old You pay almost 3000 dollars on tax, for one year to be on the road, this is al lot of money.

I'm looking for a C4 between 1986 and 1989. These years got the better TPI injection. Also the squeaks and the rattles are a lot quieter on this years.

I'll keep you informed. For the moment I'm reading trough th C4 forum, there's a lot of very interesting information and topics on the C4

Thanks guys for the nice welcome!

I'm still thinking what model to buy of the C4. Maybe a convertible or a coupe. I've got time to look for a nice one.

Welcome, Johnny.

If you want, I could keep an eye out for some C4s in Germany. Or take a look at "Chroom & Vlammen" once in a while. www.autoscout.de turns up some cars as well.

For some reason I can't remember seeing many C4s in Belgium. I see C3s pretty often, some C5s and C6s.

Lots of Corvettes from all over come to the All American Weekend in Lommel. I won't be there this year after the organisational choas of the last years being followed by higher prices.

For pics, Off Topic always likes picture threads.

Hi

Autoscout is one of the site that I also follow. For the moment I keep looking around here in Belgium at via the Npcc. The whole administration of homologation in Belgium is not a very easy task.

They're lot of C4 in Belgium, mostly put away in garages. The high road tax in Belgium is one of main reasons

I was also on the meeting in Lommel last year. I know the organisation, it's an expensive meeting but 10 euro for one day is for also the maximum. I'll attend the meeting on Sunday this year. I'll post the pictures on my site.
