My love for Corvettes started at the cinema 5 doors down from my house when I was 14yrs old!
I saw Smokie & the Bandit, & thought a Trans am's not bad! Until the following week when I saw one burn in Corvette Summer, which I thought was even better!
It was then when I knew I just had to have one, 14yrs later I had the opportunity!
Next year 22nd October , it'll be 20yrs & I love her just as much, if not more! Scraped her back with razor blades on more than one occasion! Ness & I couldn't feel our finger tips
