Welcome. And best wishes for Ukraine, which must be feeling a lot of anxiety right now. Congratulations on your Corvette. I'm sure that it's a lot of fun for you. Do you have some good roads there where you can let it show off its capabilities?

Koufax Thanks, the war is far from here more than 1000km, life here in Lviv is like in other non war country. Roads in Ukraine are not in good condition, but a few year ago we had euro2012 european soccer championship, and major roads was done. But when I decide to ride on my Vette, Iam always planning my way. We have no a lot of roads where I can go fast, but 300km/h I have tried

Thanks to all. I'm glad that I found this forum, because in my country there is no Vette forum, and I think there are not more than 100Vettes for whole Ukraine

Westrudgeon thanks, its a long story, maybe later I'll try to write the whole story, but now a few words. Since I was a school boy I like Vette, but my favorite was C5, when at 2005 became a new C6 I was not satisfied for the exterior, but a few years later I liked it. So it was winter 2013 i were at the office, observing car selling european sites, and c6 after a little road accident come into my eyes
After email, phone calls i decided - DREAMS MUST COME TRUE

Here are some pics when I bought it















to be continued......

I would be glad to welcome you at the forum but not after this picture.
Are you really believe all the sh*t that is going out from TV speakers?
For those who don't know Russian language (guess for 99,99%) - the licence plate says "F*ck you Putin".
Hate to see this.

Everybody has his own seeing of political situation, I have a lot of friends that was on that war on the east of Ukraine, and they describe that situation, our government also is not so angels, but there are regular russian army there, but Putler "Putin" tell the whole world that there are no russian army there. Its a cyber war, from tv and internet, russians said that here in Lviv we eat russian children for breakfast, do you beleive that?)) Everybody decide for himself whom to beleive. I believe that Putler is ****ing *******, and soon he will answer for his doings. If you do not welcome me, its your business, everybody has his own opinion. Thanks
