OK, what i wanna know is, when did half the vettes pi$$ off out of there? Because I was there around midday, and there were only 5 vettes, 3 c3's, 1 c1 and 1 c4, and i figured there'd be more (I met a guy the day before at the servo at new lambton who said he'd be there - and as the photos prove, he was there (silver c3) among others) and when I got there I was a bit disappointed. That and the fact that I didn't find you Glenn or anyone else for that matter... :(

ah well...

Yeah, I did see your car, hovered around it for a while thinking i might catch yourself but no dramas  :)
and yeah, i think the rain thing doesn't help either. Shame really, it's usually a good event - it was still pretty good yesterday though I know it can be better if you don't have that nasty rain showing its ugly face.

ok I was lying before. I actually saw 4 c3's. I forgot about the one with the 25th anniversary paint job. Who owns that? I couldn't work out why someone would buy what appeared to be a 77 model and put a 78 paint job on it... maybe i just don't know my vette history...?
