This winter has been the longest period my Vette has remained garaged for years.......even though weather at times has been suitable.........there hasn't been enough regular rain to wash away any salt off the roads...........and of of course we have the condidtions of the roads themselves in most areas........pot holes, patches braking-up, large stones lying on the road surfaces.......used a section of the M25 a couple of weeks ago and even that had small pot holes in places........

I've been saying this for years that we cannot build roads in this country. Over the last 15 years I've been to Portugal over 70 times and I still marvel at the quality and smoothness of their roads. Amazingly they even manage to install manholes at the same height as the surrounding blacktop so you hardly even notice them. Here the tolerance seems to be +/- 6" is close enough

It`s because construction and maintainance is all farmed out to the private sector with no site supervision by the client ( ie : local authorities ) to ensure standards are maintained .

Took the silver one out yesterday and it was running a bit rough until I hit some open quiet road and gave it some welly and it shook off the Winter blues then ran like a scalded cat. Felt great so yes roll on Summer

You can`t beat a good old `Italian Tune Up ` to sort a car out .

I think it belongs to @Mr. Cricket but I’m not sure about putting names to faces on here. If it is, thanks Stuart I got your video from Adam.

Correct one of my C2's. Fab day at Donnington yesterday and my ribs are still bruised from a few laps in Bernie's C1 with Adam Chodosh. Tim's (oneball) '69 racer is superb

Simeon Chodosh is producing these decals - the one shown on Tim's Corvette is 400mm wide but they are planning on offering 300mm & 200mm versions as well once pricing has been sorted. Really high quality and they assured me they were perfectly safe to apply on painted surfaces although it would have washed out on my silver car so we put it on the rear window. Note the white boarder is not part of the decal

Adam joined the flying 'hood' club as opposed to the flying roof club! Lucky that there was minimal damage

Like that when I bought it but most just refer to the prick bit..

Will these be available to purchase through the club ? It`s a great idea and the Marcos Owners Club did something similar to celebrate 50 years of Marcos and I had one on each door on my Mantara throughout year and did no harm to the paintwork .
