zr-1's + cigars....

[Kevin]

I know some of you are thinking "how the hell do these go together"....others know exactly how these go together. For the new owners in our group there was a great member of our clan by the name of Doug Johnson (see my sig). Doug was an avid ZR-1er and and avid cigar smoker. On saturday I fired up the ZR-1 for her first real drive of the year ~50 miles...not a real long drive but a good shake down run, nice mix of highway and two lane roads....anyway I digress...I took the ZR-1 to a local cigar shop for a podcast that we do from time to time. As part of the show we have a "smoke one for" and this is dedicated to anyone who we think is worthy of having a fine cigar smoked for them.
We decided to have the show outside and we were sitting right next to the car. So as I sat there I started thinking about who should be the smoke one for of this show if the host didn't have anyone. As it turns out he didn't have anyone in mind so I asked the host if I could do one and he said yes. So to make a long story a little shorter. I got on mic and told about doug and what he meant to both of the hobbies, cigars and ZR-1s.


Just a little story from this weekend. I thought some of you guys, epically the old guard, would get a kick out of it. For anyone who is looking for more a direct ZR-1 link here....I ran the car hard and my secondary actuators are finally starting to operate normally, they've been sticking on me but I find a good flogging will help set everything right....though I'm still having a voltage problem when I'm stuck in any kind of traffic.

here is a picture of his memorial brick at the entrance to the NCM...that was rough day for anyone who was there. I'm going to say that was a rough weekend in general. I think that was the weekend that Curtis lost his zr-1
