Hello from Italy / Texas - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

AlbertVanK · 02-18-2015, 07:33 AM

Good morning, my name is Alberto, I'm 34 y.o., I come from Italy and I moved to Texas (Houston) in September 2014.
I've always loved American cars, I've always admired those brutal engines capable of so many more HP than what we use to see in Italy. Even if Italian cars will always be in my heart (I co-own with a friend an old Ferrari 308, lovely little red treasure) it's time for me to get a proper American car

I am also a old time toy collector and mostly I like to collect vintage Transformers....long story short....I dream about a yellow Bumblebee since 2010.
Here I am, here is why I was badly looking for a nice forum to be well trained when I will get out to find my Bee.
I'm not sure if one of the forum rules is "You need to have a Camaro in order to be part of a Camaro owners club", and it make sense, but trust me I will fix this as soon as possible.
I hope to find friends (even in my area why not - Katy/ Houston) and good advisers to take the right decision, at the moment I am still quite confused among all those LT SS SS1 SS2 RT....everything will be clear eventually

Alberto

Welcome!!!

Sir Nuke · 02-18-2015, 09:45 AM

Alberto, for starters, NO you don't have to have a Camaro to be in a club....that would just be silly.....and with that in mind, seeing as how you are in Houston, please come out and visit us, the H-Town Camaro Club. in fact our very next meeting is this Saturday, here is a link to the meeting thread so you can find us!! http://www.h-towncamaroclub.com/show...eeting-2-21-15

with that all out of the way......Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
