Hi All,
As a first time Corvette owner and a new member to the cub I am interested to know what the culture is like at meets and events. As a new C4 owner I am absorbing a lot of content about these cars from different sources. I found this comment about this club on another forum and wandered what people's thoughts were? I don't want to upset anyone, I am genuinely interested. While some of the poster's comments are somewhat inflammatory, I have to admit that if I attend meets and events I would want to be talking cars as well. The quote is below:
"After a year of membership I'm not going to renew. I don't stray much out of Readers Rides or the Classics sub-forum on here but I found the Corvette UK forum to be pretty dead and racist comments dismissed as banter. I went to one Corvette meet and it was very disappointing. I was the youngest by about 20 years (and I'm 27 now, it's not like I'm still a student) and with about 15 people there, only 3 other Corvettes were present. Personally, if I'm going to a car club thing on a Sunday, I'm going to be a nerd about that car and want to share knowledge/stories about it with others. Not spend 3 hours having a Sunday lunch talking about anything but cars should the couples get bored?"
