Your ZR-1 fantasy vacation

[XfireZ51]

If you were to use your ZR-1 for vacation where would you go?
I've thought of this often and have imagined taking a 3-4 week vacation in Europe. Ship the ZR to Great Britain, travel thru the Chunnel to France. Head for the wine country and to the southern coast. Over to Germany and the "sacred" Autobahn. Maybe the Nurburgring. down to Austria and Switzerland. Finally Italy, Modena and Maranello. Lake Como, Milan, Venice, Florence and finally down the Adriatic Coast surprising my friends and family in Bari.
How and where would you go with your ZR-1?

Well since my dream vacation is someday spending a month in Australia, I'd love to have it down there to get around a little quicker than a rental might be able to.

A Route 66 Adventure

One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926 -- with road signs erected the following year. The highway, which became one of the most famous roads in America, originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km). It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song (written by Bobby Troup, originally recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio in 1946, and later performed by such artists as Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, The Manhattan Transfer and Depeche Mode) and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s.

Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, changing its path and overall length. Many of the realignments gave travelers faster or safer routes, or detoured around city congestion. One realignment moved the western endpoint farther west from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica.

Route 66 served as a major path for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and it supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive in the face of the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System.

U.S. 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985 after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National Scenic Byway of the name "Historic Route 66". It has begun to return to maps in this form. Some portions of the road in southern California have been redesignated "State Route 66", and others bear "Historic Route 66" signs and relevant historic information.

Beartooth Pass in Montana in the summer.
Over 10 miles of switch back roads going UP!
I could not contain myself when we got to the top.
I got out of the car and began screaming about how
much fun it was. We almost went back just to do it again.
Had to get back in the car quick. We were being swarmed
by little tiny tiny black mosquitoes that instantly bit.

I'm headed to the grocery store tomorrow :)

I went last night, but I used my Cobalt....:o:mrgreen:

I'd love to do the Nurburgring but It would proly take me a hour for a lap and the other drivers would get cross with me.

I'd love to find that road in northern Italy that they shot in an episode of Top Gear....that looked sweet! I'd love to see the Ferrari and Lambo factories and take a lap at Monza and Spa- Francorchamps.....I'd kill to do a lap on those tracks.

I think as much as I'd love to see Europe, I'd like to see a bit more of our country. I've never been past BG in the west, Fla in the south and New Orleans in the deep south.....all of that, save BG, was by plane. If I had to choose one, I'd say here first, Spa second.:mrgreen:
