Default (SMC) I did it!!

Hi Guys & Gals:
I bought Tony Brimer's car. I just wanted to say thanks to Dark Knight and Tim's 94 and course Ron for there feedback on this car.

And a big thanks to Tony for taking such great care of the car.


This will be the car I take on Route 66 this fall.

I would say you got a nearly new looking car with loads of goodies. Nice buy. Congrats on the new vette.

You got a very, very nice car Roband! This is kinda bittersweet. You got a basically new car but I hope that Tony is going to get another Corvette. I hope that he isnt getting out of the Corvette lifestyle. He is a good fella..

BTW, isnt it about time for you to start organizing another cruise? The one you led last year was fantastic!

Thanks guys, Yep we are a two vette family now. Sorry no pictures I don't have them on a server. That would be the longer of the two Route 66's vertago. Thanks for your help Tim, meant to call you but decided at the very last moment. Got a couple trips in mind but have things to take care of first.
Besides it looks like SMC has a very busy schedule.

Tony was heading to Chattanooga to pick up a new Harley, hope he is careful!!

Congrats on making the big decision. I would have considered it myself but no room in the garage! If I remember correctly, Tony's C5 was the very first one in ETCC.

Congratulations Bob. You got a great car at a really good price. I feel slightly green around the gills. I hope someday to stop spending money on my house & We may become a two vette family also.
