Thanks for the welcome everyone. To answer the questions:- Originally from East end of London (cockney lad). Travelled (always driving/riding (hate boats & planes)) around much of Europe. Did a coast-to-coast (NY to Vancouver) on a Norton Commando and a North to South (NY to Keys) on a Harley, both in my youth (1980s). Still ride an old HD dyna-wide. Retired (early) and moved permanently to Spain 11 years ago. Living in the Alicante region, secluded and in the mountains (not the beach rat race). Sorry to say it, but wouldnt go back to the UK for love or money. Hobbies are saxophone (alto, tenor and electric), my German Shepherd Dogs and of course the vette and HD. My vette experience is really limited. Bought my first and only one a year ago, repaired a few minor odds and ends on it and then a couple of months ago I had to sell it (needed the cash for something else). As fate has it, the guy I sold it to was a bit of a plonker and on his third outing he managed to stuff the front under a road sign, by that time I had a bit more cash so I bought it back at a very good price. Had a new hood and headlight assy fitted and still made a profit between selling it to him and buying back again. As to other vettes in the area, Ive seen one yellow C4 convert and thats all. Heres a couple of pics, one with Mrs Fluff (whos under appraisal on a sale/return basis, but after 20 odd years shes probably a keeper). No mods to the car (or Mrs Fluff) except the 245/40/18 front 275/40/18 rear wheels/tyres, not sure of Mrs Fluffs rear dimensions, but it looks reasonable. |
