As of now, the weather looks good for tomorrow night...

Anyone else in for a little Burgeritto and ice cream???

For the newbies, just off I-84 Exit 10. Drive past the Diner, under the railroad tracks and the Vettes will be parked on the right. Very casual and low key cruise night.....1/4 mile from Exit 10...starts around 6:00 PM and goes until dusk.

Okay, my local weather says 30% chance of T-storms.......sooooo, I guess I will try to get in the wind before 5PM so I can get there by 6PM.:cool:

Just saw the same forecast.....possible bummer.

Will be watching it closely and will be there if it is not raining......

The local guys (non ZR-1 guys) will also shy away if the weather looks lousy.....hopefully the rain will hold off until after sunset....it is the first day of Summer today!!!

tomtom72

06-21-2011, 03:53 PM

Scott, yea the rain is a bummer.

:o I am going to back out as I'm going to Lou's to finish what I started on Sunday on his car. I was going to play hooky but my conscience will not let me leave his cooling system unfinished. I hope you guys have a great night!

:cheers:

The rain is getting ready to come down...I'm bailing out as well. Bummer.

tomtom72

06-22-2011, 06:00 AM

Well it never did rain down by me! I have to learn that summer T-storms is just BS when it's less than 50% probability. Anyway me & Lou got his cooling & A/C systems squared away so it was time well spent. Next we have to track down some oil leaks. I think it's the cam covers....oh joy!

Next week I'll see if I can get Lou to come on up with me.

Great night again tonight. Fantastic weather.

Bob - We missed you!

All other ZR-1 Brothers in CT and the Westchester/Dutchess/Putnam County, NY area - Come on out!!! Tues. nights Exit 10 in Newtown, CT. All are invited.....Weather permitting of course.....

Burgerittos, Ice Cream, and great conversation.....does it get any better???

tomtom72

06-29-2011, 06:02 AM

Now that is the truth Scott! I can't think of a better way to spend a nice summer evening than to hang with my fellow BOB's. It was a great time as usual!

The guys in your club are aces too! They are a great group to know. Thanks for inviting me.

Yea, Bob you gotta make some time to come and hang out with us bro. We missed you last night.

Hey Doug, so what do you think of my lame idea about Bloomington next year? I'm game and I think it would be fun to hook up with the FBI guys & hang with them at that event?

:cheers:

Tom Tom,
Great seeing you last nite! Great food and people! I'm giving some serious thought to Bloomington next year. I talked w/John this AM and brought the idea up with him. We've got a long time to discuss this.
Think about Lime Rock on Sunday of Labor day weekend...

Hi guys, I had to teach a martial arts classm for a friend of mine. The next couple of Tuesdays are bad in that I'll be on vacation and I now have to spend a week in Toronto on July 18th. I am looking forward to coming back the following Tuesday.

Hey Bob, have a great vacation! We still missed your company and it will be nice to get all of us together again later on in July and August. We have to cook up some things to do like some cruises to waste gas and such.

For sure the LRP meet in September will be great and it would be cool to see how many Z's we can get to come and join in the fun.

Be well and have fun in Toronto! :thumbsup:

If we ever get a Tuesday without rain or at least one where I know I might be able to get back before the monsoon, I plan to drop down. Last Tuesday we had a gulley washer starting at 6 for a couple hours. Weather comes from the west and unfortunately so do I.

Will see you at LRP on the 9th. Long range forecast is for clear skys and low 80's.

07-05-2011, 04:00 PM

Scott, I'm out for tonight. I have some stuff to do that is going to take some time after work. I have to get some of it done because I've been procrastinating on this list for a while now.

You guys have fun.

:wave: Hi Scott, I hope vacation was restful and a great time was had by all!

Yes Tuesday would be good if the weather holds out. I'll adjust my work schedule to get away a bit early.

Perhaps we could talk about the Historic Meet at LRP and see if we might make a ZR-1 group to attend?

:cheers:

Tom -

Sounds like a plan.

Have you met Mike Beal yet? He has the 91 ZR-1 Spyder...he may be coming Tues. night if the weather is good.

See you there...

tomtom72

08-01-2011, 06:40 AM

Scott, Yes I met Mike at the ALMS corvette paddock. That car is soooo sweet! Wait till you see it in person, she's right!

See you Tuesday as the forecast is for no rain!;)

08-01-2011, 09:04 AM

It is very sweet, and rather amazing. Mike was at the Heavenly donuts cruise in Derby, CT last Weds night and I met him there....what a great and unique machine...the story is very cool as well...

See you tomorrow!

Very good fortune to have met Scott at Heavenly Donuts - very helpful and full of useful information. The weather looks good - I do plan on bringing my 'vert to Burgerittoville Tues. Hope to meet up with some more of the brotherhood.

tomtom72

08-01-2011, 09:16 AM

Yes for sure that car is the tits!

I try to get enough time to get to the Heavenly meet. I did it once but the traffic was a bear for me at rush hour on the Merritt! One day I'll see if I can do the leave work early thing so I don't have to fight traffic so much!

I'll be there Tuesday as long as my Board President doesn't expect me to hang out on Tuesday night for the Mayor's visit to my building! Some political BS going on I just got the word on this affair a few minutes ago. I have to call my building manager and see if my presence is required or what during this meet & greet. Sooo, if all I have to do is set up for this thing, I'm a vapor trail after work on Tuesday.....if I gotta stay then I guess I'm screwed!
Oh joy!

Please remind Lou about Burgerittoville...maybe Mike's Spyder Beast will persuade him for a little evening of the brotherhood....

By Tues. evening, I will need a diversion....our external ISO audit starts in the morning.....UGH.

See you tomorrow! I am definitely looking forward to it!!!

Tom Tom,
Do ya hafta wear a tie when you meet hiz honor the mayor? :dancing If so, what color tie goes with the cranberry 2010 ZR-1 Net Registry T shirt? :confused: Are you still wearing it with all the wrinkles it had when came out of the compression packaging?
I can't make it to Burgerittoville this week, I've got our monthly Corvette club meeting (1st Tuesday of every month).
Doug

I don't have too many ties so I guess I'm f'ed! Hey, I may be single & have to do my own laundry, but all my registry shirts are on hangers and they look good!:dancing.......I don't know about the tie thing though.:o

Sounds like a good gathering of ZR-1s at Burgerittoville tonight.
I'll bring my 1990 and add another to the group.

Michael Beal

08-02-2011, 09:34 PM

Great get together a the Ville (8/2/11). My first visit and I hope I can make it more often. Great group providing freindship, support and advise. Special thanks to Tom Tom for his on the spot diagnosis and fix on a slight breathing problem with the beast (As far as I'm concerned, Tom has guru status when it comes to the LT5.)
Hope we can all hook up at Heavenly Donuts in Derby on Wednesday (no good tommorow, 8/3 - looks like rain.)
Thanks all - nice time!

08-03-2011, 07:37 AM

Thanks for posting up the photos! Great night again had by all! We got to talking so much we never made it over for ice cream...for me...that's a good thing!

Scott

tomtom72

08-03-2011, 09:53 AM

Scott, yea, I can do without the ice cream also!

It was a great gathering last night & I think we all had great fun.....so many Z cars in one spot was almost as if we we doing our own car show! I can't thank you enough for tipping me in to this Tuesday night gathering. It is a great way to spend an evening!

Hey Lou has something going on for charity down in Greenwich this coming Sunday. Stay tuned for details. As soon as I get them straight I will post up here. I think it's in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs, anyway he got PEPSICO to sponsor the event. It would be nice to have some of the Beasts show up to represent, word!

:cheers:

Nice pictures, Tom. Nicer, still, to have actually been there with LT5 lovers. I'm still in awe of you silently jumping up at the mention of my symptom, bee-lining to my beast, literally climibing into the engine bay with your knees on the wheel and you hind end in the air, and performing the fix - Awesome Stuff. That's what makes a brotherhood a brotherhood.

94Admiral

08-03-2011, 04:25 PM

Please post up about Lou's event. Sunday may work for me.

FYI, there is also a Candlewood Valley CC breakfast run (45 minute drive/breakfast/45 minute drive) scheduled at 8:00 AM this Sunday. These are fun...they depart from the I-84 Exit 2 Starbucks promptly at 8:00 AM.....

That is even closer to home for you Tom!!

Usually have a few Porsches, BMWs etc join the run. This is open to anybody who is interested.

08-03-2011, 04:56 PM

Scott, have gas & ZR-1, will travel!

As soon as I can speak with Lou at length tonite I will post up the details. I volunteered to go with him to make sure the local Pepsi Distributor gets his set up straight. The CEO lives in Greenwich and if she happens to come by I told Lou we better "get it right" or else. I'll have to see what & how it all shakes out. I would say yes save for this set up thing with Lou.

Mike, that's what I get for being short! I'm glad no one got a picture of that!
Seriously, that's what our Brotherhood is all about....no ZR-1 left behind It happened to me when I was a rookie owner at a show down in Atlantic City. Ron Kreigh was the first other Z owner that I met. He was welcoming me to the club and loking over my Z when he noticed that one of the clips that hold the FX3 motor on the top of the shock was adrift. Seamlessly as we were speaking of the cars he reached down and reinstalled the clip and then gave me the skinny on keeping an eye on the clips! It was, I guess, how I learned to be a Brother of The Beast.

I think I have a tag - how about FOG (fat, old guys.) Just a thought seeing as we will be adding ice cream to our Tues. cuisine. When we arrive at a cruise folks will say "The FOG is rolling in". Is this how "Hell's Angels" was conceived?

Let me offer another option for the name:

North East ZR-1 Owners Group

It has a nice sound and is very descriptive!

or a "BONEhead".

Maybe we should reverse it and call it NEBO - North East Beast Owners....lots of ideas here, I'm sure we will agree on one of them......

Hey, if nothing else, the name game gives us a reason to get together and chat.

Okay, I have some info on that charity event this Sunday that Lou is doing.

It's for the Greenwich Boys and Girls Club. This Sunday in their parking lot at the club house building in Greenwich ( Exit 3 off 95 ), start time is 9AM till whenever.

I know this is way short notice, but if you're out & about in your Z come on by and hang out with me & Lou.....I may even clean my car really well for this after all it's Greenwich!

Lou is e-mailing me a flyer and I'll post more when I get it!

:cheers:

here's a link to the flyer:

:cheers: Tom & whatever the NE Z crew decides to name itself, we have a rain date for next Sunday. Gives all those a second shot @ being able to make this who were tied up today. Tom, thanks again for all your help. We will need a day to relax after building the shed on Sat. I like BONE. Doug, if you can get down this way I can get you a pass to get into Greenwich.

08-08-2011, 07:09 AM

Well, if it doesn't rain this Tuesday night I say we call a meeting of the Northeast section, at the usual place and time at Burgerrittoville, to discuss the name and other pressing NE business like the car show schedule and the Vintage Races at Lime Rock that are pending.

What say the rest of the membership? :mrgreen:

I'll be there, weather dependant... Either way I'll be in my R-32 (VW) my daily driver... actually the R-32's more rare than the ZR Note: I didn't say better but it is a real unique piece, 3.2L 24 valve 15 degree VR6, variable valve timing on intake & exhaust, 241 hp, 6 speed all wheel drive, ABS disc brakes bigger than the Z, traction control, adjustable Bilsteins, dual mode exhaust, no wings/spoilers/coffee cans, no bright colors etc, Euro version goes 155mph but the US cars are factory chipped to 130 (ask me how I know...) it's a real sleeper compared to the WRXs and EVOs, less than 5000 built, it really scoots, but not anything like the Z. It's also "adult" (?) driven (not to worry, I'll park it a respectable distance away from the "cruise" cars, wear a jacket over my Registry t-shirt and pretend it belongs to someone else) ...at least it's not a ricer... and I'm probably the oldest person on the planet to own one...

is someone gonna make the last minute decision? I usually leave Mystic by 4:30 to get there around 6

Looks like iffy weather at best. We now show a 50% chance of thunderstorms.....let's shoot for next week rather than take a chance on bad weather tonight.

Bummer.

I will try to make the Greenwich show this Sunday...anybody else going?

:mrgreen: I'm going to the Greenwich show this weekend.:wave:

I still do not know what I'm doing for Friday at Carlisle, Scott. My property manager just got back from vacation. I'll bring up the subject after I do something to make a headache from my building go away. Usually my requests are better received if I make like advil. :p

I may try to go to Greenwich too, not 100% sure yet though. If not, at least next Tuesday. I need to show off my new Tshirt.

Thanks for the support guys.:handshak: How about Doug??? Drag Brian down with you. We had a bunch of the guys from your way down here last year. I promise I will make it up to you.

Weather forecast is really not good for tomorrow..it is already spitting tonight.....bummer.

At least I fixed my left headlight gear this afternoon. Next week I'll do the other one, though it is still working for the moment.

Rain in the forecast for tomorrow (Monday).

Let's hope it breaks on Tues. for a little Burgerittoville get together!

The weather looks bad for this tues. 60% chance by 7PM according to the forecast.

I'm in if the chance goes down to say 30%.

Sooooo, I have to drive thru rain Tuesday?:icon_scra :cry:

I just checked and it's still 50% chance till 7 PM. How about we play this one by ear and if we get rained out we check the weather for Wednesday and I could try to make that meet in Derby at the doughnut place?

andersra

08-16-2011, 10:25 AM

Let's play by ear. Wednesday is supposed to be good weather wise, just not sure if I'll be able to get out. Derby is even closer to me than Burgerittoville.

andersra

08-16-2011, 10:26 AM

Looking at the forecast, Wednesday looks to be good all day with no showers or rain.

Too iffy for Tues at the Ville. I do plan on being at Heavenly Donuts on Wed. - weather prediction is good - hope to see you there.

I agree. Let's shoot for Weds. at Heavenly Donuts.

tomtom72

08-16-2011, 12:09 PM

Okay, I'm going to work on getting out of work a bit early on Wednesday so I can make the Doughnut place at a reasonable time. The traffic is tough on the Merritt at rush hour.

Tonight looks to be iffy at best! What do you say Scott about Wed in place of Tues this time around?

:cheers:

Should be another sizeable group of ZR-1s - and good company too.

Just returned from Heavenly Donuts. I don't know if the donuts are heavenly but the get together and company certainly was. I'm looking forward to a repeat - will see you at Carlisle. As more than a aside, I'm grateful to have Scott Bell as our state director - I envy you New Yorkers for having the likes of Tom Guidice as yours. Happy Zr-1 ing to us all.

Yea, we gotta do that again! It was fun. We had a good turn out of Z's, six of us were there. I'm in for another round as it wasn't all that bad traffic wise even on the way up at semi-rush hour. The ride home was better and much shorter and I even got home at a reasonable time...besides I didn't take any pictures, forgot I guess. :o

I second the motion on Scott! :cool:......that other guy? Well he fell down on the job....no pictures![-X

They don't get any better than Tom....and thanks for the kind words.

You guys are the best...I really, really enjoyed last night.

We need to invite more guys to our little get-togethers! I will try to get the word out a little more...maybe we can locate a few more B.O.N.E.s at Carlisle?

Keep Saturday October 1st open on your calendars...and of course the 2nd for the FCO show in Mystic.

andersra

I think the leadership we have in our group top notch. I am very grateful to have Scott as our leader, and I think New York is very fortunate to have Tom as their leader.

Last night was fun as usual.

Tom, I'm glad the ride home was better. Thought it might be.

Scott, safe travels to CA.

All of you have fun in Carlisle.

Dave, unfortunately I just don't have the time to do so this year. I will earmark some time for next year.

Michael Beal

It's great that you make the journey (safely) - we all look forward to your sage advice. Those who have not yet joined us are truly missing out - we'd love to share more with the brotherhood. Regarding your appalling negligence in the picture taking category - don't feel so badly - no one else brought a camera (and, to my shame, I wouldn't know how to post them - another bit of instruction I hope you'll share with me.)

Never did get one of those Heavenly donuts... But none the less, I had a great time with a great bunch of the "Brothers"!!! Looking forward to Carlisle! Traffic was not an issue on the way home!

Scott: Thanks for the "Vettes in the Village" plug! Maybe we'll have more than the 300+ Vettes we had last year, including several from the "Brotherhood"!!!

Anyone going to Burgerittoville tonight? I'm not sure I can make it but I do plan on being at Heavenly Donuts on Wed. night. We can swap tales of Calrisle.

Very sorry to hear the news - I should have realized that your neck of the woods got clobbered. We can't offer much in the way of help, but you know our best wishes are with you (you'll be back on the block soon.)
