I'd be up for it when I shift the flat

The 'vette is just a little too wide and I'm not sure I could live with LHD..
Though when the C6's start to get on the market I might have a rethink

Congrats! The full red looks great, I nearly chose that myself!

Feeling guilty about abandoning my 70k JDM 99 for a younger model
Well done Rob, look forward to seeing it - although for Le Mans we will miss your JDM special sheet of paper taped on the dashboard with speed conversions

As expected, got a lousy trade in value for a JDM but can't be bothered with the hassle of selling privately
Glad Carrie managed to change your mind and your giveing someone on here a chance of a bargin S


Well done fella not so sure why youve gone for an even slower colour though

Well, I couldn't get another red one, wouldn't feel different enough!

The two shades of grey don't do it for me, Emma was keen on Old Man Blue (to match the Passat )
Imola might have stood a chance, Lime looks weird and Yellow is for Pinkie.

It'll be like a negative version of the old one, red inside, black outside

Rob, I think LHD would have been a good thing for those dodgy overtakes into oncoming traffic on the way to Le Mans (plus the power of the vette would also be nice to help out on those long straights)

Well, we shop in France, so maybe it's not such a bad idea

Good colour choice Rob!

Faster for overtaking lines of traffic around the roads of Castle Coombe!
