Default Hello from Germany

Hi from Hamburg, Germany.

My name is Lucas, I am 27 years old and owner of a red C4 from 1990.
In 2008 I had the opportunity to have a ride in a Corvette.
Since then, I was just 15 years old, I am corvette addicted and registered in the German Corvetteforum.
In 2010 I was able to persuade my father to buy a pretty run-down C4.
In the meantime I fixed the interior nicely, fixed some electronic problems and also performed some more extensive work like overhauling the TPI system, the intake manifold or the cooling system.

And the most important thing: I had already a lot of fun driving around and could visit e.g. the international corvette meeting in Suhl (Thuringia) with the vette.
After 31 years, the next step is an overhaul of the chassis.

I’ve often found answers to my questions here in the forum and thought it’s time to become a member of this community.

Congratulations Lucas. Nice work on the car. A Corvette is quite uncommon there and must generate a lot of curiousity.
