Default American Muscle Alive & Well in United Kingdom

Hi Guys,
Well I've finally restarted my favourite hobby (had to wait for the kids to grow up a little). I have two Z28's '79 & '96. The '96 is my current money eater. My Sig has mods already done and I will be picking your brains on my next upgrades. Great site & great info, I looking forward to participating.

Did you purchase the Z28's locally or did you have to have them shipped from another country? I was too young to remember if they were sold in the UK during the 3rd and 4th generations and wasn't around for the 1st and 2nd. Just wondered. Thanks.

By the way, welcome to the site.

Hi tacklebox,thanks for welcome.
Rest assured f-bodies are a big feature here as are American car clubs (Manchester being a venue for one of our larger club meets). We are doing our part in keeping the Mitsubishi's & Honda's in check

Purchased locally. We have plenty of dealers selling new & used American cars, there is a hummer virtually around the corner from where I live, and a Dodge Charger SRT & 1999 WS6 parking close to where I work. F-bodies are the most common sight seen tearing up our roads & motorways

Good looking cars. Are those C4 Vette Rims? They look nice on the 4th Gen.

Yes Vette C4 rims, I think they look pretty cool as well. Wasn't keen on the stock rims.
