Vacation trip in the ZR-1

[QB93Z]

We just got back to Maryland from a vacation trip in our yellow 1994 ZR-1. My wife and I decided to take a driving vacation and visit some family locations and do some sight seeing in New England. We visited Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut. We drove 2,435 miles in 10 days.

The ZR-1 performed flawlessly. The new nav system worked well and we had a lot of fun taking photos of the ZR-1 in a lot of the places we visited.

Parked beside the 4-8-8-4 Challenger steam locomotive at Steamtown in Scranton, PA:

Thanks. Lyndi just bought a new camera before the trip and we had fun taking pictures of the yellow car in front of everything we visited. I like the Booth Bay Harbor pic also. It was late in the evening and the mist was rolling in.

Well if you train the wife to do a burn out (w/ front wheel lock out) and you get that left hand lean perfected I think you could reproduce that look.

Make sure the wind is blowing the correct direction as well. Or use a HD large Dyno Rad. cooling Fan.

Early morning sunrise coming from the east as daybreak comes for an early morning shake down run with the lights on and the dew wiped off the Z.

Make sure to wear you yellow ZR-1 Reg/Net T shirt to match yer yeller Z.

It would indeed be one hell of a photo -- as was Mr. L's as shown here.

You can always Photoshop and dress up the license plate later

NOW 2 ZR-1's DOING DUAL BURNOUTS WITH BOTH OWNERS
ON THE OUTSIDE OF BOTH Z's
WITH A HAND ON EACH ZR-1 WOULD THE THE CAT's AZZ
