Hello
« on: March 08, 2014, 12:15:57 AM »
Hello everyone

just joined the forums and thought i should say hi.
My name is Ben, I live in the Blue Mountains of Sydney and I love corvettes and GM V8's in general.
I have just committed to buy a 2009 ZO6 L3Z from the states and I am working on shipping and all involved in this. Hopefully will have the car in my hot little hands by June.
I enjoy track days at Eastern creek and my current car that I track is a 2008 SS ute with a LS3 conversion, my plan will be to track the corvette untill I can afford to convert her.
I am sure I will have heaps of questions for people over the next month or so ie conversions and any info people can supply to me about the ins and outs of importing would be great. I will definately become a financial member soon and will look forward to Club runs and days out in the future.

Cheers
Ben

here she is and I am in love ha ha

Welcome aboard Ben, love your ride buddy can't wait to see it up close and personal.  Rest assured buddy this site has heaps of assistance and wisdom when it comes to the conversion and that's from blokes that have walked the walk and done the ghard yards themselves  :thumb:

Welcome Ben, good to see another Z06 they are an awesome car.

I've been through the process of sourcing, shipping and converting and whilst there are hurdles to get through it's the best thing ever and I'd do it agin tomorrow if I had the cash :)

Happy or chat if required.

Ps we spend a bit of time visiting relies at Katoomba so will give you a shout one day.

Hey jagsy

Thanks for the welcome mate and that's awesome news, I'll send you a PM if cool with the first of many I would imagine.
My oldies live at Leura so I am up there a fair bit, I live down the bottom of the Mountains at Lapstone, would love to catch up mate.
I am currently in India of all places as I work offshore in the oil and gas industry and get home early April, will be in touch.

thanks again. :thumb:

Hi Ben, welcome aboard. As the guys said there are many of us who have gone through this process, and you will get plenty of help if you need it. Just yell!!
Looks like cyber grey. Great colour for a ZO6. Look forward to meeting you when you are back in Oz.

Nice one Ben, well done. I'm very envious.

I recall seeing the 2010 model on the showroom floor in the GM building in Detroit.

Welcome to the forum.
