Hi everybody,
My name is Pedro, I'm from Spain (Europe) and this is my '90 red on red ZR-1:

I bought it only a month ago but all I can say is that I am amazed with the car. It has only 27,000 original miles and it's in great shape. The previous owner was a car collector that used once in a blue moon (2,000 miles in 12 years) so when I first saw it, it was covered in dust in the garage surrounded by another 50 or 60 cars.
I've always been a ZR-1 fan since this car was first released. I can clearly remember it in the sticker collections I used to do when I was a kid: 375 bhp, top speed 190, priced $60,000, I'll never forget that first visual contact!!!
I also want to thank all the people of this board who have helped me out in a couple of threads related to replacing certain car fluids (transmission and coolant). Besides that, all the information hosted here is tremendously useful for those like me who live outside the US and don't have an easy access to advice for ZR-1's. Thanks a lot for that too.
Before I leave I also want to say that I love your country. Last year I spent my honeymoon there and it was a great experience. In addition, I could meet personally a friend living in Wisconsin I made thru Ebay and he and all his family made my wife and I feel like home since the very first moment. Is there anything more breathtaking than being welcomed to a foreign country with an American and Spanish flag hanging in someone's flagpole? Definitely I don't think so.
P.D: By the way... I know the front bumper and the fenders are not the correct ones for a '90 ZR-1. I have to talk to the first two owners and do a research about this matter.
