Moving "down under" Bye Bye Vette!
So the Wife gets a big promotion at work with a oversea's assignment to Perth, Australia! Looks like Two years or more. So sad to say all the cars in the stable are up for grabs, including the Vette.Below is a link to the craigslist ad posted yesterday. If interested or might know somebody who is, please post up or PM me.
Gonna miss all my CF friends while were gone,what am I going to do with car shows,rainbow runs and autocrosses? May have to take up surfing! And if anyone needs a second opinion on my car, just ask Richie (Rich) Wilhoff of Able Chevrolet, he can clue you in to the care this car has recieved.Thanks again Rich and all the gang (John,Nick,Mike) at Able for all your help over the years!

WOW, Keith I am shocked to hear you're leaving. I will certainly miss you buddy. Thanks for all the kind words, referrals and fun times at the auto x in the last few years. Your car is one of the cleanest C5's on the planet!
On the bright side, GM makes some pretty damn cool vehicles down under. The new Holden Ute comes with an LS7

I thought I'd seen your car before. You live on the same street as my brother and his family. I have the silver c5z that's been in the neighborhood a time or two.
Good luck with the sale - and in Aussie land

Thread title caught me eye.....
Perth is an awesome city. Very nice climate! My husband is from there.....we'll be moving back there in a couple years.
There are a couple of corvette clubs there if you want to keep in the loop.

I was surprised by your text saying your moving down under. Sorry to see you leave. I have enjoyed spending time with you at many of the corvette events as well as the many Baja events we have attended.
We will all miss your shy and quiet mannerisms. The new move sounds like a great adventure. Send a quick note when you get settled in how things are.
Best of luck to you and your family!

Was not sure you got my text. Thanks for the kind words. And yes, I will continue to stay in touch with everyone via the forum,facebook and e-mail.
You still "commuting" between here and Arizona?Maybe we will all have time for one more run somewhere, allthough I will probably be a passenger in someone else's Vette.

HHHUUMMM, Does not sound like a street around my sub-division? Maybe 'Laurel"? I just don't remember ever seeing your silver C5 Z06 around. Does your Brother live in a small court of a main street that if you blink you would miss it? Houses onj the court on only one side?

Thanks man! Yes, I will miss all your great stories from the past to the present. Plan on attending a few of the GTG's before I go, but once again, will probably show up in my daily driver.
Looks like we will be changing venues again when we start back up this year in March. We will keep ya posted!

And would love to hear more from ya' all about Perth sometime! PM If you get a chance sometime. Would love to pick your brain about nice suburbs to live in around central Perth.
Also, what is the transition like to driving on the left side of the road while sitting in the right seat?

It's a small court off - I'm not sure of the surrounding streets. There is a yellow C5 vert 2 houses down from him that looks just like yours. My apologies if I have yours mistaken for that car - you have a twin in Oakley

That is diffenitly not me! If it is the court across the street from my back yard, there is a guy with gray hair probably in his 60's that drives a mil yellow coupe.If your Bro lives elsewhere in OAKLEY, then there may be a mil yellow Vert on his court but I gurantee it is not equipted with lt oak tan interior and top! Boy, this is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night!
Anyhow, PM next time your driving though town in your Z! Crack open a few Fosters since I am training to keep up with the Aussie's and will talk Vettes and throw in a little B.S.
