november

it's raining again. the weather has been cold and stormy in the meantime - germany's south last week even encountered the first snow of the year. and since the racing season is over, the main focus now lies on "club life".
if you like to race, it's better to be a member of a local club - you'll get a lot of advice and also technical help there. so i had made contact with the ac höchst in september, joining them for the three dmsb-slaloms i drove this year. and this is why i thought it necessary to tell them about my "other" (and more fervent) passion - my vette, my red baby.
this picture was taken when paying a short visit to one of the club member's place...

it's quite difficult to explain that you're not a rich kid
eventhough you own a dream car...

next topic on my list (still!!!) is trying to get hold of a german driver's manual. i can read and understand english to a certain extent, but when it comes to technical terms, i must admit i prefer my mother tongue.
so yesterday was the third time i rang my GM dealer and asked for this manual... well, you've got to consinder you're in germany. things take a lot of time here - and this is also true for german customer service!

another nice-to-have would be the corvette repair manual. you can't buy them here in germany, you've got to order them in the states, and although the euro gained a lot against the dollar, the price is still quite high (about 100 $ for a new one).
