Big Atlanta Event - May 1st 2013- Drive Your Delorean On The Parking Lot!

[Dangermouse]

Can’t make it to Indy? Too busy? Too far? Washing your hair?

Come to the OTPDOC mid-day Spring meeting instead, at Twisted Taco on Wednesday May 1st at noon? Discuss future tech sessions, trips, haze new members etc.


The last event was attended by between 1 and 3 DeLoreans and we are hoping to double that number this time. Who’s in??

Food will be provided (for a fee). Ditto beverages.

Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to drive at over 100 mph on any of the surrounding roads complete with a police escort (almost certainly with lights flashing). Though it wouldn’t be recommended.

That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.

Seriously though, I'll see if I can make it. But it's a bit far for me.

It's "air cold" ya dork.

:frantic: aaaaaaahhhh I can't escape it!!!

[Dangermouse]

alright, alright, take your BTTF nonsense elsewhere. This is a serious thread about a huge upcoming Atlanta meeting, that's coming up here in Atlanta, no matter what type of air there is.

(actually James, it's just a fancy thread about lunch, but you are very welcome to Come On Down)

Yay getting together and doing DeLorean stuff!!!!

Whats up with all the workday meet ups?
It limits even the possibility of many members attending.
Oh course if this is intended as a Hotlanta group date and not a SEDOC meeting, that's cool.
I feel like its a silly hats only meeting...

Jack,

It is not intended to replace tech sessions, weekend meets etc. A couple of years ago we discovered that a few of us worked in the same area so we informally called ourselves OTPDOC (Outside the Perimeter DOC – it’s an Atlanta thing), so it is more of a small sub-set of SEDOC, though we don’t have any silly hats.


As SEDOC doesn’t have a website, or even really a FB page, we just publicize the gtgs here, rather than just email, in the hopes that a new person may see it and join us. They are only 1-2 hours long, so you are not missing much.

One of the things we do need to do, is organize a weekend tech session though.

[Jack]

Yeah I know just jelly, and busting your chops because of it.

My new house is currently under contract, and due to the garage and driveway's ease of access compared to my current house, I was thinking of organizing a tech day after I've moved in. Granted that won't be for around a month or two, but if you guys want to drive out to Marietta I will be happy to host again.

[Ron]

I guess I should of suggested free babes and beer...

Hopefully new house has a lift. :)

6510 is still leaking gear oil. Need to get it filled before I go far.

Did you ever catch exactly where it was coming from? (Hub flange splines??)

No. So slow and such limited space, can't tell for sure. But based on the stain, it's still going.

I think the one thing we didn't replace was the small o-ring. I know Sean replaced that when he worked on it. But it came from a non-DMC vendor so it might be worth tearing it down one last time, replace the small o-ring and the lip seal (for the 4th time).

Down on the list of people to take seriously who say they're going to "attend" something. Way down.

[nullset]

Oops. I completely forgot about this......

--buddy

[DL4567]

OMG, did you just reply in 1 minute? Or was it a coincidence?


Also, you have no excuse for "forgetting" anything. I bumped the thread yesterday you son of a bitch!


And you just proved you see posts instantly.





P.S. (I mean no serious offense here :tongue2:)

[nullset]

I got the email notification...... didn't see a reply yesterday.

Oh well, I suck.

Ok, to be fair, I did bump the other thread yesterday, which I guess you weren't subscribed to. But you still suck! :tongue_stick:

So what are we gonna do about a tech session / meet / social / drive this summer? Darren's event from April is putting the ATL crowd to real shame.

[Iznodmad]

Just have to start by picking a date. I'd be interested in coming down and being a participant if the timing is right.

Well, I organized the one this thread is about, so with that great success under my belt, I'll pass the torch to someone else :eek7:

[nullset]

I'd be happy to host a tech session at My Inventor Club if there's any interest. It's much less shady than Freeside was......

Or, I could start hosting "fix 2930" workdays, where I sit back and drink while watching others fix my project car! :)

Other events I have in mind:

- Drive in night (starlightdrivein.com)
- Lunch that I actually show up to
- Track days?
