Hello to all from Germany
Hi everybody!
My name is Thomas and I did my registration at this great forum last week. I´m living in Germany close to the border to Belgium and The Netherlands. The little city is called Aachen, it`s 70 km to Cologne. My zr-1 is from 1990 (number 29), I bought it in 2003. Original it was in red/red but if you have a look at my album there are a lot of modifikations I did in the past like coil over suspension, Porsche brakes, 18" wheels, new saddled interior, new colour on the outside (Lamborhini orange). In 2008 I rebuild the engine with a lot of mods (headers, porting, special cams etc...). Every winter-season I do some changes so I made up my up coming plan for 2012/13. What can I tell you about me. I`m 42 years old and married with my wife Katja. I infected her with the corvette virus in 2008 when I got to know her. She is 42 too and owns blue 1993 convertible. We don`t have children but 4 cats in our home. Occupational I`m a master mechanic and I studied mechanical engineering. After all I´m working at a company for engine development in our home town. As I told you I´m owning my zr-1 now nearly for about 10 years but it´s difficult to find another guy in Germany with such a corvette. Most time I`m the only one with a zr-1 on a corvette meeting in our area. I think there are less than 100 zr-1 corvette licenced in Germany. Ok..so I hope I can learn some more facts and ideas from you about the king of the hill. Some weeks ago I bought a new belt tensioner at Jerrys gaskets and I could see that Jerry is a member of this forum too...that`s great! Sorry for my school english but I hope you can understand me. Thomas
