I have met many Registry members in person and I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the members on the forum. My name is Beverly and while I am a new ZR-1 owner, I am not new to Corvettes.

I attended my first Corvettes at Carlisle in 1992 and have continued to attend every year. My husband Ed and I drove away on our wedding day in our 1989 Red C4 convertible. In 1998 we bought a Radar Blue Indy Pace Car. We never fail to get attention when driving this car around town. In 2006 I bought a 1972 Corvette Stingray convertible at Carlisle as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. Ed sure was surprised at the reveal during his birthday party!

Last year after meeting several of the ZR-1 Registry members at Carlisle, Ed decided he wanted a ZR-1. Ed bought a 1994 Admiral Blue ZR-1 last October with only 13k miles on the clock. He was enjoying his ZR-1 so much, I decided I should have my own ZR-1 to drive! We found a second 1994 Admiral Blue ZR-1 for sale in May of this year with even lower mileage. I thought it would be fun to have his and her ZR-1’s.

Since we were already signed up to go to the ZR-1 Gathering and couldn’t get my car delivered to my house in time for the event, I had my ZR-1 shipped to the Corvette Museum. I hadn't seen my car in person until I walked into the Museum on Saturday morning. There she was, looking beautiful and sitting right next to Ed’s ZR-1 with “His” and “Hers” stickers on the windshields.

I jumped into the ZR-1 world with both feet. I posted a few pictures of me getting to know the other ZR-1 Net Registry members while serving hamburgers and sausages in the hotel parking lot at the Gathering. I had the chance to meet and get to know Dave McLellan during the weekend. He signed the hoods on both of our cars, as well as our build sheets. His advice for me was to, “Drive it hard!” I assured him that I would! The weekend was complete as I drove my car for the first time, out of the museum! I stopped for a quick picture in front of the Corvette banner. The 1972 C3 on the wall was the same one I had at home and my ZR-1 was on her way home to join her.

Carlisle was extra sweet this year. I worked at the ZR-1 Net Registry tent, selling memberships and apparel. This gave me another opportunity to meet more of the club’s members.
Our “His and Her” twin Admiral Blues looked very nice side by side among the many beautiful ZR-1’s on display.

Well, congratz, and let me be the first to say: WELCOME TO THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE BEAST!! :fahne:

Paul.

Welcome & congrats, we met at the gathering. You and yours have a pair of very nice ZR-1's. I might add you cook a mean burger also!

Saw your car at RK Motors in Charlotte earlier this year and wanted it SO BAD! It is beautiful!

WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!

Well, I see you have the sickness like the rest of us. While yours and Ed AB ZR-1 as gorgeous cars, I am still partial to your Z4Z which is my favorite Corvette to date.
Once again thank you for supporting the ZR-1 Net Registry at Carlisle.

Welcome to the site,Beverly. Looking forward to meeting you and Ed at Bowling Green,next year.

Yeah - welcome to the 'PEOPLE'?HOOD Of The Beast!

(Brotherhood ;) )

Welcome to the group

Welcome! I have a 94 #256 black/black. Hope to see you at Carlisle in 2015.

Enjoyed meeting both you and Ed @ Corvettes for Chip a few weeks ago.
Two beautiful AB ZR-1's for sure, which generated alot of interest over @ Simply Corvettes from the pics posted. And with David's AB, your ZR-1's made that the most of one color at the show......:) Tom & Alexis

Welcome to the club! David has told me all about you and Ed! Can't wait to meet you guys next year, and add another AB to the scene!

That's what this is all about. Nice Corvettes and nice people.

Welcome aboard. It was nice to meet you in BG. Always nice to see a woman in the club.

Welcome, as he said, drive it hard, looks like you were in some GREAT company

Great meeting you at Carlisle/and what a great pair of cars both of you now have/Thanks for all the help cooking those great burgers,in the parking lot/Hope we can do it again in 2015/

Paul, thank you being my first official welcome!
Steve (We Gone), I remember meeting you at the gathering. Yes, the burgers were good!
Chris (Killshots), I’m so glad you didn’t buy my car!!
Robert (cvette98pacecar), thank you. I enjoyed working at the Registry tent with you and Amy, despite the rain and wet feet!
Clint and Sherry, looking forward to next year at Bowling Green. I hope it will be a little warmer.
Schrade, I'm glad to be one of the Beast.
Goldcylon, thanks for the welcome.
Yun (Secondchance), I remember meeting this year at Carlisle and I think 94’s are the best year!
Tom & Alexis, it was fun to get to know you both at the Corvettes for Chip event. Three AB ZR-1’s do make a nice statement when parked side by side. I’ll look for those pics @ Simply Corvettes.
Jim (JimZRyd), looking forward to meeting you next year as a member of the AB gang.
Blue Flame, I have met nothing but nice people in the Corvette world and it’s always fun!
Steve (efnfast), it was nice to meet you as well. I have two sisters who have also just joined the group!
PhillipsLT5, I will rise to his challenge. The only speeding ticket I have gotten so far was in a Corvette. The cop said, “Honey, I heard you coming before I saw you!”
Diamond zr1, besides getting to know everyone quickly, one burger at a time, it was the best way to stay warm! See you in 2015.

Nice to see a husband and wife team so involved in the Corvette hobby together. You both have the zeal for the Corvette and that must be just heavenly. You have very nice ZR-1's and I hope you enjoy being members of this club. I live in 30 miles south of Miami so finding people that know about our ZR-1's is nearly impossible. This club will give you a wealth of information and will support and help you if you are having a bad time with your car.

Congratulations to both of you.

Yep, those two AB Z's sitting side by side inside the museum
sure looked sweet! And the looks of joy were wonderful.
Have fun!

You are lucky. I was thinking, "I'm glad my wife isn't here to see this.
She'd want one." But nah, she'd want a new kitchen or a vacation somewhere.
Very nice to share the interest. But then, who's is faster, cleaner, better
looking/sounding, etc.?

Welcome aboard Bev! Besides my own two ZR-1's, I am the caretaker of my Dad's '95 Admiral Blue ZR-1. If you are at the Gathering this next spring, I look forward to meeting you and your husband...and of course seeing one or both of those beautiful Admirals!
