I've been lurking around for a couple of days. Just thought I would chime in and say hello all. I know it's not the right season but I'm looking for a 99-00 FRC. Hardtops are tougher to find than I thought

I know its a dumb question, but I'm a dumb person, have you looked in the C5 for sale section? I think FRC are going to be keeper for most owners, just because they are kinda special. Good luch though

Welcome The production numbers for the FRC are low,

Steve, you thing youre so smart? Then tell me,

Mr. Grumper grumbles about bad time-keeping trains like everybody else. On one particular morning he was justified, though. The train left on time for the one hour journey and it arrived 5 minutes late. However, Mr. Grumper's watch showed it to be 3 minutes early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward 3 minutes. His watch kept time during the day, and on the return journey in the evening the train started on time, according to his watch, and arrived on time, according to the station clock. If the train traveled 25 percent faster on the return journey than it did on the morning journey, was the station clock fast or slow, and by how much

The station clock is 3 minutes fast. The morning journey took 65 minutes, and the evening journey therefore took 52 minutes, and the train arrived 57 minutes after it should have left, that is, 3 minutes early.
