Default C3 from Italy!
Hi,
best wishes for a Merry Christmas.
I'm writing from Italy and I'm sorry for my bad English.
I am a happy owner of a 1981 Corvette, the car of my dreams.
It was purchased in Sanibel (Texas), in excellent condition, stock, free of rust, frost beige, about 100,000 miles.
Ciao!

I am Italian for error!
Besides the Corvettes and the Sportster, I have an other symbol of the U.S.A., a nice Jeep CJ7 Renegade!
I love everything that has a engine and wheels! And if the engine has more than six pistons ...
I joked, I like to be Italian!
Hello guys!

Default Welcome
I've vacationed in Italy quite a bit & love driving fast on the AutoStradas.

Also I see why so many road racers come from Italy! I read once that when Italian men get angry with their wifes or girlfriends, they go out & drive!
