Greetings from a new member! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

voxdeidave · 09-28-2010

Hi gang!
This is Dave Macbeth, the proud new owner of 1991 ZR-1 #384, and an even prouder new member of the registry.
I've drooled over these machines for several years. Finally this summer the itch got to be too much.....so my restored '59 dodge power wagon went on the block and thus began the adventure of buying my first zr-1.
With cash in hand I shopped for just the right car. Finding #384 in LA I jumped on a plane, bought the car, and drove it home to Palmerton, PA, a total of 3400 miles! (averaged 26.1 mpg over 5 days in case anyone is wondering!)
Now, with the car snug in my garage I am finally getting around to joining the forums.
So, are there any other members in the NE PA neighborhood? If anybody is familiar with Blue Mountain Ski, I'm about 3 miles away. (and yes, I've already been to Carlisl.....that's where I joined the registry!)

Thanks to those who've put together a great club, and I look forward to meeting everybody.
Dave

Dave,

Welcome!!! There are plenty of Z owners near you and a huge group a few hours south.

Take a look at "Wazoo" posts in the SE / NE regional forums, you will get a kick out of them.

Lots of great things going on including a group going to Mystic Conn October 3rd (this sunday) and another one November 7th in West Chester PA for "Corvettes for Chip".

If you have questions or if we can help, post up or email me @ events@ZR1netregistry.com

Welcome to the Registry Dave. Congratulations on the ZR-1.

Cross Country in a ZR-1!!! Man, you are living the dream!

What preps did you do to the ZR-1 before you set out?

I remember driving my first ZR-1 home from Chicago. What a great trip. When I stopped at the first motel, I sat with the shades open for a while just staring at MY ZR-1 in the parking lot.

If you have any pictures from you trip, I hope you will post them here or in the Member Rides section of the Forum.
