Hello. I'm Patrick. I love cars.
Feels like I'm speaking at an AA meeting or something.
Ok. I am new to this forum but not to cars. I started building cars when I was about 5 (not kidding). My dad was a British car nut. Anything from classic Jags to the little Bugeye Sprite.
I'm heading back to the US and have decided it's time to get a Corvette. The wife won't let us use all our savings for a new C6, so I have opted for a C5. Over the next 10 months, I hope to learn as much from these forums as possible.
I've never had my hands in a Vette, but I am sure it has to be easier than any British car with all their wiring problems.
So, help a fellow Vette lover out and answer my posts over the next 10 months so I can find the best Vette for me.
Cheers and happy driving.

Welcome Patrick
I have been lurking here for about a month and my Lady say's I am addicted. There is a treasure chest full of great info in the forum. I bet I have 50 links to different website and loads of thread replys that I have copied and pasted into different notepad files.

Thanks all. Yeah, the wife is already regretting saying yes. We move back to the US in January or soon after. I already have a Mustang and an Austin Healey waiting for me. No idea where all these cars are going to go. Guess I did end up just like my father. He's pushing 70 and has about 10 cars in his garage.
