Hi all
Thought I’d drop a message into the forum and move from lurker to a potentially more active member now that we have actually managed to acquire a corvette
We’d planned to buy a vehicle that was in Paris back last year before Covid hit, and missed out in the end on that one. Truth be told that actually worked out pretty well for us and we ended up buying an excellent example a couple of weeks back at the Silverstone Auction. The car has been purchased to remember my wife’s late father who was a big car guy in his day, and my wife follows in his footsteps

Precious little time to actually get out in it yet, plus the fact we have an 11month old son and the car has two seats which makes planning trips a little trickier.
I have a bit of a side line in detailing so currently enjoying going over the car and preparing it for some ceramic coating to help protect it.
Definitely keen to get input on knowledgeable people to help look after the car in terms of servicing, useful upgrades, security and so forth so please do feel free to offer suggestions. We’re West London based. I’ve a few specific things I’m looking to solve for, including something a lot of people will might consider daft but will stick that in another thread
