Welcome. So good to hear of other Corvettes in Europe.

Welcome Thomas

The Lamborghini orange looks great on a C4 especially with the black rims and black pillars/top.

Keep us updated on the dates of the event. Maybe we can get a small group to take a trip across the pond.

Yes Robert that`s a very good idea to visit the corvette meeting in Praha.It`s alway in july but the exact date will be fix in a few month. At the meeting there are often visitors from the US

. The czech corvette club has the Las Vegas corvette club for friends. The judges of the jury for the corvette rating are most time Benita, the president of the Las Vegas corvette club, her husband Jerry and some other members of this club. This year I won the category c4 with my zr-1

.

You can not compare a corvette meeting in the states with a meeting in europe. A big meeting in europe are 150-200 corvettes but if I look at carlisle....oh my god...it`s unbelievable.

Here are some pics from Praha:

...and another one. It showes the Mozart theatre at the old town of Praha. If we are visiting Praha we always stay there for a week (little holidays). It`s a fantastic city and you can connect corvettes with culture!

Thomas,

Welcome and that is one awesome car. Another member Rick, like me loves custom work and you sure have done a lot. I was offered a job in Weisbaden right after I moved to Japan and could not accept it and surely regret it. One day I hope I can move to beautiful and historical Germany with my ZR-1. Thanks for sharing and take care.

Hi Craig

That`s pretty cool, I grow up in a little town close to Wiesbaden. In 2002 I was in the asian area in Seoul / South Korea at the huyndai company mounting an engine test bench that we developed in our company...

...and one of my dreams is to come with my zr-1 to the states to visit the corvette meeting at the corvette museum in Bowling Green. I visited the United States a long time ago, Florida. I think it was in spring 1991...one of my best holidays!

Welcome, Thomas. My wife and I vacationed in Munchen in '09. Incredible, incredible historical buildings in your country. Just amazing.

Great job on your Z. You nailed it on the wheels.

Hi Thomas,

I am glad to see you took my suggestion and posted your introduction/info.

Will be having an extra Lowenbrau tonight for you, not that I need a reason to drink German beer.
