Vacation trip in the ZR-1 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

QB93Z · 08-26-2009

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.

Looks like you had a good time Jim. I plan on doing the same thing after the Gathering next year, driving around the south.

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.
