I am thinking about making a huge poster of this

Sunday, took my new(ly inherited) Corvette out for a Sunday drive, special time. I took this picture and can’t stop looking at it. I think I might make it a huge poster and put it in my place.

Ok, but you didn’t have to kick the door so wide open for that guy from Scandinavia to make fun of you?

If you are serious, these guys can make a mural from your photo. I haven't used them yet but they seem pretty solid.

I just wanted to say after reading your other thread that it's really neat that you're taking such great care of this car. I hope you enjoy it for a long time!

Paul, people (unkind people) will make comments about whether it is your age or I.Q. - so I think you should go out and put a "1" in front of that number.

It needs something to make it complete. I know, a headshot of Jocke. Maybe right in the mph box.

That's a nice one, Paul. I think you should definitely get this done and put it on the wall somewhere. Even when you're not driving this memory will be there like all the rest.

Take another picture before you make a large picture for your place. This time make sure the seedometer is over 100 mph!

Love that hood. Would never get tired of seeing that through the windscreen.

I like that it has a simple, square, metal ignition key like cars of old. No plastic or chip.
