Since you and I are the only ones awake we can start. Those people over in your colonies ar apparently still asleep

For me it was a natural step. I bought my car five years ago. I had been looking for many years for a '69 Camaro and this one turned up for sale. For many years I had seen the modern style on BMW's, Audi's, Mercedes' and so on with their high wheels and low profile tires on lowered suspensions. I guess they were influenced by the very popular European Salon Cars Championship cars, like the BTCC or DTM.

So I thought that a Camaro would look cool if the same style was applied to it. This was probably in 1996-97. One day I bought a Chevy Hi-Perf magazine because it had some cool Camaro on the cover, it was the Tucker's yellow car, I then learned that there already was something called Pro-Touring and it was exactly as I had been thinking about.

It took me a few years before I could move to a new house with a proper garage to make my dreams come true.

Now I have a cool Pro-Touring Camaro that has all the characteristics of a Pro-Touring car.
