Default Hi, im new! -now with pics

Hi folks,
Thought ide intoduce myself.

My names Terry i live in N. Ireland and have a yellow 2003 Z06. i seem to find the best advice you can get is from car owner forums, so though ide be best signing on here as americans tend to no more about your own brand of car, over here, knowone tends to know what it is! lol

Bought the car about 3 years ago from florida, a place called H&H corvette (great guys) and brought it home as a summer car, so it does V little miles due to our rubbish irish weather.haha
Before it left the U.S. i had dynatec powermaxx exhaust system and vortex intake fitted, witha tune doen too. then this summer i fitted a carbon fibre air bridge with smoothy coupling... loving the car, hating our weather. haha

But hello to everyone here from not so sunny ireland!

thanks for all the kind welcomes.

Heres a few pics as someone mensioned...

i actually have two corvettes, the 1st i got was one my dad bought when i was 15. when i was 17 (legal driving age over here) he gave it to me on my b-day. although it was a gift, i try not to call it @mine@, its more of a father-son car. lol
Then i spent my entire savings since i was 14 , and then some on getting the Z06. bought it when i was 21, two years ago.

So, heres an spread of various pics i have on my pc (sorry theyre not great, but theyv all been taken with my phone at different times etc)...but here goes:



The system which was fitted to it:


The intake:




Just purchased (still in H&H):




a couple of the 1985:


a couple i took of the Z06 in the reflection of the "85:




Both of them together:



And for those who may be interested, i changed my everyday car to a honda Accord type R last year, so when i first got it, i took a pic or two of it with the Z:




I have better , more up to date pics on my curent phone, but they wont transfer to my pc for some reason.
