Cheers!

Tell us more about your Vette! We like pictures too!
Probably not many C4s on the road where you are, eh?


Welcome to your new home.

Welcome to the forum. C3 owner myself, but I am becoming more and more fond of C4s.

Show us your Vette and tell us more about yourself and where you're from. Where in Spain are you located?

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 (1980’s). 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 wouldn’t 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 vette’s in the area, I’ve seen one yellow C4 convert and that’s all.

Here’s a couple of pics, one with Mrs Fluff (who’s under appraisal on a sale/return basis, but after 20 odd years she’s 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 Fluff’s rear dimensions, but it looks reasonable.

Great looking vette!

And I would recommend against posting Mrs. Fluff's rear dimensions unless you like sleeping in the dog house

Thanks Matthew & Jim, there are some things I'd like to do to it now, but isn't there always!

Jim, Spain is LHD (drive on the right) most of the time :thumbright:, it becomes a free-for-all after the bars close! :sad3:

Yea Jim,

Nowdays it's really a must to nominate a driver. Depending on the levels (not very high) the law will take your license and impound the car "on-the-spot", argue about it/go to court later!.

You can get the English beers here, but they don't emigrate too well, so I have to suffer Jack/Coke & Corinita, someone has to do it I suppose.

We have all the darts fans as well, but it's pronounced "arra's" from my london roots.

Hi and thanks CaptMike.

Cheers Fluff
