Default Checking in from down under

Hi all
It's been a while since I've said hello.

Still going strong down under, but had seem debris fly up from another car and make a nasty hole in the front bar. The hole is very low and I think was minimised with Xpel car cover. Good job it wasn't a kangaroo!!

I ran over a damn wombat driving home to sydney from melbourne....

That was an experience, launched the car pretty good, surprisingly not much damage, just brake ducts and that black rubber air dam under the front.....

Glad to see our Aussie mates active on the forum and enjoying your cars. Tough about the road debris. I had a car/truck back into mine overnight at a hotel and had to replace the headlight and some paintwork. Sucks, but they are cars to be enjoyed.

I have a 2006 Lemans Blue Z06 back in the states. I am in Melbourne for just under a year (been here since January, return to the U.S. in October). Unfortunately I did not get to bring any of my toys over here. I have talked with some other owners at shows and the car scene around here is pretty impressive. This is my Z,




For anyone back home that’s never seen a RHD Vette, I ran into this clean RHD swapped GS at the American Car show @ Flemington Racecourse back in April. $50,000AUD and 8 weeks for the RHD swap but very well done.
