Deal done - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

DaveK · 01-29-2007

Hey everyone

Just viewed a ZR-1 over the weekend in the Michigan area and made a deal with the seller. At last, one of these babies is going to be mine!! :-)

Had a test drive, first time I've driven one and those things are FAST!!!!! I've driven some pretty big cars in the past but that was just awesome. I'm still grinning!!!

For info I located it from the ads on here and it's a black on black 91.

Now all I have to do is get it to it's new home here in the 'great frozen north'!

And join the registry of course! Hopefully should be bringing it back down to the US for the Gathering in May.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a!

Congrat's Dave.

I know the feeling. Only had mine for a few months. Take it easy if you plan on driving it up to Canada. They're awesome cars, but not really on snow. Mine is put away for winter here in Sweden.

Again - welcome!

Thanks Peter

I would really like to drive the car up here, but there's not likely to be any predictably good weather for several months so I think I'll probably have to trailer it back.

I'll try to post a couple of pics if I can work out how.

Dave,

Congrats on the purchase. Sorry our meeting didn't work out as we planned but sounds like your quest ended up well.

If you are ever driving around this area give me a call and we will get together. Good luck and if you need anything just let any of us here at the registry know. It's going to be hard for you not being able to drive until mid April or so. Post pics when you have a chance.....

DaveK · 01-29-2007

Thanks Bob. No border issues this time thank goodness!

It was a shame I didn't get chance to meet you but hopefully we'll get chance at some point. I plan on driving quite a bit so I am sure I'll be down that way at some point.

I think i am getting a better deal on this one anyway. The car seems a lot cleaner than the 92 and has all the original parts, dual roof package etc. with it.

Waiting sucks!

But after waiting 17 years I guess a few months isn't too bad

It sounds like you are a glass half full type of guy.

Glad to hear you have found one that you will be happy with, and we look forward to hearing about all the fun you will have.

Congrats Dave. I know you have been looking awhile. That's the one from Pat in Michigan on the Registry site. Real nice car and mods too. Enjoy it buddy, you waited long enough.

DaveK · 01-29-2007

Thanks John. Yes it's the one that Pat listed. He's done a great job of keeping it really nice too. So a big round of thanks to him and any other previous owners for that.

Looking forward to meeting some of you guys at various places/events.

Let's see if I can get the pics working.
