new member from Braunschweig, Germany

[wolfuser]

Hi, I´m a new member from Braunschweig, Germany. I bought my Vette about 6 weeks ago: a white 1987 convertible- and with just 16000mls on the clock. Originally from Hampden, NY, the Vette and her then owner moved to Germany. Sadly, he passed away after putting the Vette into storage. The car was returned to service in 2007, but the then owner didn´t drive her much cause his wife objected....so I somehow consider myself her 2nd "real" owner, as I certainly intend to keep her. Won´t get many miles, though, appx 600 a year or so, perhaps...well:
After returning to biking 2 years ago (I run a Harley XL1200 with sidecar), the thought struck to get a car to match. At first, I thought of Mustangs or Firebirds, as my dad used to run Mustangs back in the 70s....and then the proverbial lightbulb lit: A Vette! I had admired Corvettes for ever, and suddenly realized I could own one if I got rid of one of my other cars. A dream come true....
The more I learn about the C4, the more impressed I am how well engineered the cars are. I don´t mind the squeaks and rattles- they ain´t too bad, and the beautiful body and sweet engine certainly make up for this.
Cheers for now...

Welcome to our forum. I loved my 87 roadster - hope you have the great time I had with mine.

Welcome to the forum! Nice looking Vette.

Where in Germany is Braunschweig? I spent almost three years in Fulda while I was in the Army back in the early '80s. Always wished I had an American muscle car to drive on the Autobahn while I was there. Must be fun in your Vette!

where is Braunschweig

Hi, Lisa-

If you´d run up the Autobahn north to Hanover and then turn right heading for Berlin, Braunschweig is appx 40mls east of Hanover. It´s close to Wolfsburg, where I work (at VW). Your Vette looks very beautiful, too.

By the way: Thanks for your time in the Army. I was with an Nato Naval Air Wing in the early 80s....but just on the ground.
