New boy

[Yellow 2]

Good afternoon, I'm newly-arrived in Vetteville; I've this week taken delivery of a C5 I sourced from Ohio. Hopefully catch up with a few members during this summer/autumn season. Car is a 2003 6spd with 29k on it, always been garaged so really clean & tidy. Car is essentially for the wife but I hope to get access to keys now & again...

I have a feeling I've seen you on the A43 recent-ish. I was in my Camaro and gave a couple of toots as I passed a lovely violet/purple Vette. Thanks for the welcome.

Not too far from me either by the sound of it. I’m about the same distance east of Stratford. Nice looking C5 you have btw

I have always thought yellow has suited corvettes very well.

 

[Oneball]

What a small world it is and getting smaller every day ! I very much doubt there is another Violet Metallic C3 in the A43 area , so hi and rooty toot back .

Yup, I have a 2013 SS weekender for thrashing up and down the Fosse Way and M40. Had it quite a while.

Theres a thought (probably a dumb one).. i wonder why they never used the SS badge on a Corvette?

 

[Yellow 2]

Maybe it's cos the Corvette has always had that "sports car" connotation whereas some of GM's other Chevrolet vehicles have had to have some badge enhancement to make them appear more sporty to customers. My Camaro is proper lard-arsed so the Super Sport badge must help (gotta be worth at least 5hp)

 

[Derek Nicol]

Only five horsepower?.. i thought the SS badge was so cool it added at least ten, or is that only if you stick it on a Chevelle.

 

[Yellow 2]

GM actually deleted the SS badging on the export versions of 5th gen Camaros in order to not upset our European friends on the other side of the Rhine...
