I'm going to complete my presentation.
In 1987, I was 20 years old, I went in South east of France for holydays with some friends by train from Paris (I lived near Paris at that time)
During those holidays, we went to Saint Raphael (by bus, we haven't got a car at this time), and I have saw, for the first time of my live a Corvette in down town. Those cars wasn't current in France.
It was a black one, but I can't remember the year of this Corvette.
Since this first meet, I'm always said I WANT A CORVETTE.
With time, my tastes have been refined, until want a black one, with black interior, manual speed, and only '80.
Only '80 because in France it is really difficult to import a car less 30 years old. And in 2010 for my first car, a '81 had got only 29 years old, then impossible for me.
23 years later, I have bought my first Corvette as you know in my first thread.
Thanks.
