hi there!
my name is christoph, 35 years old, and i live near mannheim/heidelberg in germany.
back in the 80s, as my wife was a small child, she watched the serial "scarecrow and mrs king" in german "agentin mit herz" or "agent with heart"
the headliner drove a silver corvette an so it was her dreamcar.
and since 2011 i...
..äh... we own a 2002 c5.
after some time of searching, i found this car in luxembourg.
its a europe-version with the mn6 and z51 package and almost stock.
i only changed the taillights, sidemarkers und side repeater and (not an the pic) the bumberlights.
here some pictures:
after one year driving solo we found some other corvette aficionado with the Corvette Freunde Kurpfalz or "corvette friends of Electoral Palatinate"

I know, it is just part of the cost to have a Corvette in Europe. If I lived in Europe I would not mind having that if it meant I could have a Vette. In May my cousins are moving to Wiesbaden. I have family in the Netherlands, London, Wiesbaden, etc. So I am picking up 3 new Mercedes Benz and going and helping my cousins settle in and then drive all around Europe. Maybe I will see your C5!
