Gordy here from the Kootenay area of BC. Ordered my Z06 and picked up this spring. Have been to Spring Mountain and parked it this fall with just over 10000km on it. One FUN ride.

Hello Gordy. Welcome to the forum. You better dig through and send us some pictures of your car.... we like pictures here. Is this your first Vette? Yeah... We like stories too...

Welcome Gordy.

Pics would be great.

Spring can't be far away.

Took the car to see the Jolly Green Giant this summer lol.
This is my second Corvette. Had a 64 Roadster 327/365 4spd back in 1974. Sold when I got married. Kept my 49 Anglia street rod (maybe not my best choice) sold it, built a 100 mph flatbottom. Got divorced saved my house, payed that off and then got into Harleys. Ended up with a CVO Roadglide and sweetheart had a Streetglide, road the wheels off those bikes. Retired 7 years ago to the Kootenays, bikes a little warm to ride and deer population pretty high so we sold those. Couple years ago we went to the US Nationals and GM had a Z06 on display on the manufacturers midway hmmm. Tossed the idea around and while we were wintering in Florida I phoned home and ordered the Z06. Picked it up late last year and went to Spring Mountain on the way home. This summer was fun look forward to next season.
Pics will have to wait till I get home from this winter away.

Gordy, you have to get this place figured out. You can't post pictures that make the rest of us feel bad.

Nice rig.

Any pics of the flat bottom?

Welcome to the forum..... great looking Vet and one hell of a 'Van'

Welcome to the Forum. Please feel free to show-off. More please ....
That Coach is definitely one to accelerate up to and check out the tow - won't pass you and just cruise behind enjoying the view.

Welcome Gordy.
You are a man who loves his toys. And you have some extremely nice ones too. Your Z06 looks awesome behind the little van.
I really like that black stripe on the grey.

You should fit in here with this crowd very well.

Derek.

Welcome GordyS. Beautiful Vette, great color combination. I see you are definately living the dream!

 

[GordyS]

Thanks for all the great comments, seems like a super forum.
We had the "van" custom built 4 years ago by NRC in Middlebury Ind. I took my Century series, 15l, 550hp Cat equipped cab and chassis back there and got this beauty built. I had the truck as a service truck and when I retired after using it for 4 years it had only 36000 miles on it, so it was a no brainer to use it for this conversion. If you ever want a badass motorhome, look at a truck conversion before you check out the cookie cutter class A's.

Sweet looking set up Gordy. Thanks for the pics. Enjoy your "winter away"... just to make you envious, It's -31 here right now.... Did I say "envious"....

 

[Paul C7 to C8]

One heck of a 'Rig'

Welcome to CCF Gordy! Awesome looking car. Hope our paths cross sometime in 2018 as I will try to get out on more cruises and meet others. Florida: wouldn't AZ or CA be closer - easy drive for long time stays?

Welcome to the forum Gordy. Awesome set up!!!! Very, very nice. The car looks great and all I can think of seeing the flatbottom is the Great Outdoors movie! Sounds like it's a good winter to be down south!
