Hello dear community,
My name is Tim, i come from Germany and recently got a C5. American cars have always fascinated me, i was probably born in the cradle and i also decided to buy a V8 myself. Since i work in the automotive industry myself, i like to spend the weekends at US car meetings, auto shows and fairs. In 2016 i was at the "Power Big Meet" in Sweden, the world`s largest classic car festival for American vehicles. A trip to the USA with a focus on Los Angeles is still planned.
Here are some data about my C5:
-Targa
-Bj. 2004
-87.000 KM
-Automatic
-Torchred
-US Version

Cloudly greetings from Germany
