Well I officially became a member today so I thought I would do a quick intro.

I have been in love with the Viper GTS for what seems like forever, It has always been my "dream car"! Well February this year it came true, I bought a low mileage (6,800) 97 GTS from Star City Motors in CA and had it shipped to Scotland. I bought the car sight unseen so was delighted when it turned up and everyone was asking if it was straight out of the wrapper? Their faces when you tell them its 10 years old is priceless :D

Anyway the Title says "short" so I better get to the pics..... bear in mind I am
useless with a camera!

Thanks for the welcome guys!

"Do you live in this beautiful countryside??"
Yes this is the view from where I live, it is very pretty when the sun is out. Sometimes you have to wait a few weeks but its worth it :)

Nice cars, house and scenery. But Lady Liberty looks a little out of place. :dunno: Also, glad to see your dad owns the guts of a Viper. :2tu:

"i love your statue of liberty! where did you get it?"

Thanks we saw it at a garage that works on American cars and had to have it, so we asked if he would sell it and, well now we have lady liberty :)

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I looked at a similar car there as well, it was beautiful with 20,000mi. Then I bought a supercharged Viper instead. I think Star City motors is a good guy to deal with though. Congrats!

So that means you get to drive on the wrong side of the car, how does that feel?

Yep sure does, I thought it might bother me a bit (not enough to put me off getting one), but after 15 mins it felt ok and a few months down the line I dont even think about it. :drive:
