A last couple of outings

Ed is a little backed up with on-going projects so the plan is to have the car ready to ship end of April, so I took the car to a couple of events before the stock motor is retired:

North Texas Irish Festival:
To me, me and my friends in the little Dallas group, our annual outings at the North Texas Irish Festival in early March is typicallly the highlight of the year as far as Delorean get-togethers and we get pretty good promotion - even a dedicated webpage. The Irish like so many others, love the Deloreans; most aren't even aware why we're there, until they learn that they were built in Belfast, Northern Ireland! People are incredibly friendly but where there's liquor there's trouble so you have to be on the look-out for beer spills as they lean into the cars. Very common.

Cars & Coffee:


#1283 on C&C's website!

Packed, as always, but what a great venue! Car enthusiasts are everywhere and this is where they come together, once a month under no pretenses. This time I was thinking to get a good parking spot so I got there at 6:30 - I still had a hard time finding a place to park!


Here I have stepped away to get a break from all of the questions

It always strikes me how much people "know" about the history of the Delorean.But, no doubt, this marque has a special place in peoples hearts (very much, of course, due to the Back To The Future craze); everyone just love to look at and talk about Deloreans.

Once I got home and parked in the garage, the stock engine - #1163 - was shut off for the last time. The prep process to convert to stick shift started immediately thereafter.
