Default New Z06 owner/member

Hi everyone. I've just bought myself a 2009 Z06 and I'm having it shipped out to me on a Intercity Lines transporter.
I can't wait to get it of course. I'm hoping they can get a quick delivery without any problems too.
I got a CF discount and will let everyone know how well things go.

I already have a C5 and have been on that board awhile, so I didn't know if a new member deal was required here or not.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hello, as I'll be hanging around over here, having the new C6 Z06 toy. Here's a peek at it.

Thanks everyone.
I'm a sucker for the red ones myself, this is my 4th red one. It's my 6th vette to date though.
I know I'll love it, seeing as I'm an old days drag racer from So.Cal.

Nope, I've still got it and the 56 truck in my avatar too. My wife Anne wants to drive the C5, so who am I to argue.
We'll be a 2 Corvette family, but I'll suffer through it. Can't have to many toys, right?

Thanks for the welcomes guys.
Another view.

Congratulations on your new Z06 It looks great in Victory red. Of course I'm a bit biased. You picked the right carrier as well. I've used Intercity in the past and they are extremely dependable and keep the lines of communication open. Enjoy your new Z.

Thanks again everyone.
It's my first C6, so Ill be reading a bunch and probably have a few questions from time to time.
Have I done this intro correctly putting it in the Z06 section or should I have put something up in the C6 section first / too?

Thanks, just want to do things right in here. Here's my other toys that will share the toy box area.
The Toyota 4X4 will be leaving, making room for the Z06 soon.
