Hello everyone

just joined the forums and thought i should say hi.
My name is Ben, I live in the Blue Mountains of Sydney Australia and I love corvettes and GM V8's in general.
I have just committed to buy a 2009 ZO6 L3Z from the states and I am working on shipping and all involved in this. Hopefully will have the car in my hot little hands by June.
I enjoy track days at Eastern creek in Sydney and my current car that I track is a 2008 SS ute with a LS3 conversion
So anyway hi

Welcome to the forum from Indy! I sold and exported a 2009 CVO Harley Davidson Springer to Australia a couple of years ago.

The part that hurts is spending almost what she costs on converting it to RHD - crazy and the 3LZ interior GM protects the colour so hard to track down, but got the best guys onto it - Performax in Qld Aus
