Default Thanks to Shrek,,,,ZR-1 Back up and Running
Shrek fabricated a hose fitting and came up to tap the plenum and get the ZR-1 out of its sick bed

Good to get it a little exercise yesterday.

Thanks again Shrek!

I wondered what you were doing up on Poquoson... Diane showed me a pic of a nice Lambo you were behind. You don't see those often. I thought maybe T.Wat traded the Z for the new car.

G was working (as usual) so I was flying solo and it was a beautiful day for a ride. T bought me lunch but almost lost me on the way over to QS&L. He had the ZR-1 haul'n down those back roads and I could barely keep up.

Later when I was heading home on 17, I got passed by a red NSX, plate said VIACURA. I think he wanted to play, but homy don't like play'n in the street. Then I saw a sweet looking yellow Prowler just before this appeared in my rear view mirror!

Yrah probably took him 2 or 3 hours to get to Hampton Roads in that thing!

That thing is just sick!!! Lambo sure goes over the top on their designs!

This one showed up at South GA Vettes a couple of years ago.

What were you driving? Your Z06 could not keep up with the Z?

The Z06 is quite capable, it's the driver that lacks git-up-n-go!
