I remember that from when I went to the NCM this past June. Got a pic of that stuff somewhere. I wonder if some one has one of those somewhere? That TT motor is wild looking but I liked the elegance of the black a bit better without the turbos. Too complicated for my taste but a cool looking motor.

This brings back a nice memory of a very pleasant road trip! It was the first long trip I took with my Z! Brought the car back to it's birthplace.

Hi Ray! I'm Tom.

I don't know where Milstone is but welcome to KOTH! I've only had my 90 since 12/04. I've been hanging with the guys over at CF northeast events section since they go on cruises & it's more fun to go with other peolple than by yourself.

This is cool because there is another new Z owner in NJ who just got his 91(?)Z this week I think. Now there is 3 of us! Mine is not pristine anymore because I use it too much. It was when I got it, only 8800 miles. Now I have chips but I like using it too much, I put almost 6000 miles on it this summer & I was down for two months with injector problems.

I'm down for anything that involves using my Z!

Would love to get together with other Z owners and have some fun!

Good luck with the new toy, she sure looks sweeeet! That white & black combo is soooo cool looking, IMHO!

That's gonna be a nice late christmass present Ray!!!

I can't wait to cruise with you and Jim this summer.

Hey, Jim, NJZR1, and I are gonna make plans to attend the gathering at BG this spring as soon as we hear about the date. You wanna caravan with us? That would be way cool! I think the gathering is in the beginning of May, but I'm not sure. Anyway think about it because I met a senior member at Kerbeck's Toy for tots run, Garth/ 95 ZR-1/Del., and he asked me if I was going this year and we should do a caravan with Z's from the NE.

Anyway just some food for thought!

Tom PS this season is gonna be great!!!

Good Luck on the new ZR1. I'm sure Feb. cannot come soon enough. I just got mine last week and it snows. I have to check out G.A. in 06. I'm 10 min. east of Freehold but only went to cruise night once this yr. ( no Z at the time )

BBBAD94ZR1 · 12-09-2005

Nice we can hook up over the summer. I live in Millstone next to Great adventure. I do all the cruise night at the outlets very big close to 2500 cars. I had a 86 grand national, this summer wil br my new Z. Good luck with yours.
