I wish that Maybach was mine. It was on the truck behind the Z and had to be moved. As for another ZR-1 I think I am done with my vette collection for now with this and the Centennial ZR1. However, I was not in the market when I found this one so I will not say never.

For the guys in this area and know about first Sunday of the month at Market Street, I took her down there this morning and was jumped as I was getting out of the car. Guy knew all about them but had never seen one in person. The Ferrari guys came over and was all over it. She drew a lot of attention, more than I thought she would.

Great buy, beautiful car!
Now put up those original tires and get new ones for the road please.
Age is not on their side.

Thanks

Mike

Woodlands! I'm in Montgomery, 1488 and Honea Egypt road.... I've put 29,350 miles on my 91 in 1-3/4 years... I run 45 all the time, keep your eyes peeled for the White-Juan! I'll do the same!

Congrats. In addition to replacing the tires, replace that FRAM OIL FILTER!

+1 again on the tires. I let some tires get old once (plenty of tread too), and it cost me a trip over the curb and into the grass one day in one of my other cars because I overestimated the traction. Old tires can kill you in these cars.

Anybody w a Maybach out to easily be able to afford that. ZRs w 5-550hp
are just an absolute blast to drive.
X 2. Great looking white Z however I am biased lol

Yes it is! They have a facebook page too: https://www.facebook.com/The-Woodlan...96411/?fref=ts

I usually get there around 8:30am but being a holiday weekend I might get there sooner. My oldest will be driving the '12 and I will drive the '93. Be advised that to park on the street in front costs $10 which is donated to local charities. The back street and sides are free.

I trust you will do your thing and organize the group?

Works for me. I'll PM Steve, Don and Jay. Do you want to meet earlier to get better parking. I see it starts at 8.

Nah, if getting there at 8am and then cruising in doesn't get me a front row spot then I will park wherever and save $10. If ya'll decide to meet earlier and go in is fine with me.

Fine with $10. See you at 8 at HEB. So far only you and I.
