You will at a quick glance, perhaps be put off from reading this first journal entry, but please do bear with me as I share with you, perhaps one of the ultimate C6 Corvette journeys!
This journey will see my new Corvette C6 travel half way around the world, with perhaps, even a few ‘firsts’ along the way, so please indulge me as I set the stage.
Coming from England, but having been a regular visitor to America for the past 25 year since I first toured 25 US Cities whilst working with the rock group Genesis, I see it as a second home that I care deeply about.
Indeed, I flew my partner’s families and mine to America to see us be married in Indiana and did so to enable all my American friends to attend.
We still vacation almost every year within a variety of States and these days, I am able to travel to California to bring English clients of Driving Adventures to the USA to experience the 'American Dream' whilst indulging their shared passion for sports cars as we hire a fleet of Corvettes for one and all.
So why do I feel the need to tell you this? Well you should by now understand how much I love America, Corvettes and travel and can perhaps sense that I feel great pride and feel privileged to be able to spend so much time in my ‘second home’ of the USA.
With that in mind, you may be able to understand just how elated I am at this time as my wonderful C5 is making way for my 'ultimate' C6. Naturally that is enough to be celebrating, but magnify that anticipation multiple times when I tell you that I have bought the car from ‘Corvette Forum’ in America member and that in November of 2007, I made the journey to collect the car.
This was no ordinary collection though as it saw me fly from London, England to Florida to collect my new car in person!
I was about to indulge in one of my ultimate dreams and the end result would see, to the best of my knowledge, the very first C6 Z51 in Atomic Orange on British soil!
To add to the fact that my car will not only travel from it’s first home in Florida, right across the Atlantic to it’s new home in England, it will through my work with Driving Adventures, see the sights of the French Riviera, the Monaco racetrack,
the French, Italian & Swiss Alps, the German autobahns and Black Forest, the Fjords of Norway, the Scottish Highlands and all that in it’s next year of life.
Naturally many hurdles of course stood in the way to get the car to England, but they have almost now all been over come and now I just await the arrival of ‘Atomic’ which as I write, ‘should’ be on the Atlantic Ocean.
To start my ownership, I was able to drive the car around Florida for a few days, visiting friends and many of the destinations I’d previously only been to in a rental car and along the way, I was able to photograph ‘Atomic’ as it starts her new life of global traveller.
Through this site, I'd like to share my journey with those that may be interested and perhaps it may assist others in taking a big step to obtain their ultimate dreams.
I'll document it with as many photos of our journeys around the world as I can to liven up my text and I hope you enjoy the forthcoming journey as much as I will!
