I was glad to see Adams e-mail of the Forum Update because I intended to respond with a post a few weeks ago, however, I got busy with other things, didnt turn the computer on for a week and.........well you know how it goes.
I feel very welcome on this site for the short time I have been a member. I have only asked a couple of questions, and have been very impressed with both the number and quality of responses. I have also been impressed with the amount of knowledge and expertise of some of the members. They helped me with my problem (Tach Drive) in a very easy to understand way. I now realize that this problem has been addresed at least a dozen times before, but they were very patient with me. Thank you to all.
Although I am new to this Forum ( A year ago I didn't know these types of forums existed) I have owned Corvettes for many many years and thought I knew alot about them.
I bought my first Vette in 1970. A '69 427, 390 hp Riverside Gold Coupe.
(By the way I really like Miki's pictures. Looks very familar.) In 1973, I bought the Corvette that I still own today. A '72 350, 200 hp auto Targa Blue Coupe. In those days, we didn't even call em C3's. Can you believe it?? You can say the Corvette has been a very important part of my life. I feel very fortunate to have been able to hang on to it through school, family, wife, kids, jobs, moving, etc. etc. etc. And yes, I still have the same wife that I had in 1972. One more thing, in 1974 the blue coupe was the only car we owned when our daughter was born. Can you imagine bringing a baby home from the hospital in a Corvette today? I guess life was just simpler.
Back to the Forum......... I really enjoy getting to know the guys and gals that post often. (I really do feel that I know them.) I also appreciate the good natured banter back and forth between them. Very entertaining! Lastly, I feel that I have learned a great deal about the sports car that I have owned for many years, and look forward to the sharing of information in the future.
Sorry if this has gotten a little long.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Dean
