Mine was when I was a teenager. They were so cool and like nothing else available in Oz.

I remember a movie called Cleopatra Jones who has a C3 and I think when ever she opened the doors, the Targa Tops would move upwards automatically about 45 degrees. Very COOL  :grin:

I still have my first match box car  :thumb: 1968 /70  ish roaster! No windscreen  and sh#tty brown in color. Has cast wheel on it too  :grin:

70vette:
When I was a young 12/13 year old.
A green 70/71/72, (I remember the grills in the guards), pulled up beside my dads Wolesely 24/80 when we where on the way to Gunnamatta Bay for the annual Water Board picnic. Pulled up beside us at a set of lights. I was hooked from that day on.
Funnily enough my cars original paint is Donnybrook Green :grin:

Lefty:
When I was a kid there was this show in tv called "the magician" with Bill bixby. He had a white corvette and his own plane. That got me hooked. I used to play squash at bel more courts and for a while there the car yard next door had a few vettes for sale.
I remember looking at them very closely on day. And of course that sealed the deal.
They also had a sign on the" don't touch unless you are nude"
Cheers

MY081:
Ok you asked for it , it all started in 1960 i was 10 and a guy in Camden had a white c1 so awsome in those days . then in 1967 the local holden dealer had a 427 tripower manual in green . my mates and i thought it was from another planet absolutly never seen anything like it . In 1984 the same dealer had a red on red c4 9.5 inch wheels unbelieveable ( my 6 inch wheels on my corolla looked tiny ) and red on red . Then i buy a corvette fever mag (1981 ) again red on red on the back cover just had to have one ( but kids new house a business ) So 13 years latter and im talking to Joy about my dream car and she says just get one , didnt need to be tolled twice . A guy who imported vettes into Australia found one in Texas small rip in one seat , small ding in front right fender $5800  ( and that was the cheapest part of owning my vette ) anyway ive had her 23 years and have enjoyed every second and the friends we have made is the best part . Ray n Joy
