Lexington North Carolina Fall 2013 Tech/Social Event-Saturday October 12th

[Iznodmad]

And the fun continues! That's right, it is time again for another DeLorean Party in North Carolina! As the title says, the date is Saturday, October 12th. Come as early as you like, and stay as late as you like. Everyone from previous events is invited, and I hope to add a few more new people as well. We will have lunch (menu TBD) and do any projects that we can in a day. Please add your name in this thread, any persons coming with you, and any parts/work you would like to try to do. If you are unsure about this event and don't know what is involved, please visit the older threads to see how much fun we have had at this tech session in the past! If you wish to travel, and need help finding lodging, I can assist with that as well. Any questions, just ask. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to it!

[Delorean Industries]

Can't wait! See you there!

[Hokie]

I'll be there, Lord willing and the creek don't rise! Work needed yet to be determined. Let us know the final 'due date' for posting work requested. Thanks for having the event!

[about2livethedream]

Does one have to be an owner to attend? :) What about a wannabe?

[Iznodmad]

No, you do not have to be an owner to attend. I've had many non-owners and owners with cars that don't run attend in the past. All are welcome and you will recieve an education on what to look out for when considering purchasing a DeLorean. I usually try to take all those whom are interested for a ride in my DeLoreans as well.

[Chris Burns]

Hopefully I can attend Darren!

I will let you know if anything changes. I want to try out VIN 905!!:deviltail:

Hmmm...might have to try to do this. I might be in Texas that time but we will see. Besides...love some lexington BBQ. I'm originally from Burlington (technically Haw River) so ill make it a trip to visit my family:-)

[Roman Legion]

But I was just in Asheville, NC today! lol

I'll be there, hopefully it will still be warm enough to take the bike out there. Let's just hope I get my new hearing aids before then so I can actually be apart of the meet, rather than just being there.

Hopefully you enjoyed my area!

[TripleZeroFilms]

I'm already excited! You can certainly count me in.

As for projects - I've got quite a list and all the parts to do them. I'm not with my car much at present so this might be a good chance to knock one (or two) off the list.

I'll review my list and post up what I want to try and hit.

[Rad Dad]

AT this point put me down as attending. Some chance that may change, but I hope not.

[Roman Legion]

Hopefully you enjoyed my area!

It was a very nice area and when I was on the front lawn of Biltmore, I kept seeing that old picture of all those DeLoreans in the driveway. It was odd looking around the front and picturing all those DeLoreans in my mind.

I hope at this meet in Lexington, someone lets me sit in their D, that would be awesome.

[DMCBRANDON5873]

count me in see everyone soon!

[Mike C.]

Count me in. Looking forward to it!

[todd1561]

Hey Darren,

I should be able to make it. Did you buy a third DeLorean?!?

See you all on the 12th.

-Todd

[Iznodmad]

Yes I did Todd! I wanted an early car, and you wouldn't sell me yours last time. So I got one. Lol. Anyway, I was hoping you would show up in the thread. I have a request. Can you do the iPod hookup conversion on my Craig radio in my new car? I don't have any plans to change out the radio in this one, and I would like the ability to listen to the music on my iPhone5. Is that something that can be done on Saturday? Anything I need to purchase before the meet? Let me know!

I want an ipod conversion in my current car too! Why a newer car didn't come with one I cannot fathom.

Is that something that can be done on Saturday? Anything I need to purchase before the meet? Let me know!Haha I didn't think anyone read that writeup I did on the Craig stereo. After more thorough testing there are some definite drawbacks/limitations I've found. For instance, the aux input seems to favor the right side channel, so I've had to adjust the balance control to even it out. This can be a nuisance when switching back and forth between the aux input and the regular inputs (radio and tape). I've also found I need to unplug the aux input (not just turn off the music from the source) otherwise it will distort the radio signal. I too use mine with an iPhone (running Pandora) and have noticed I need to run the volume of the iPhone at about half otherwise the music will be distorted, not a huge problem. Some of these issues may just be my stereo and/or speakers but I imagine it's mostly how I have it wired.

Sooo, it's useable, but I'd probably want to do some more work on the project before I install it for others, just doesn't seem to be ready for "prime time" yet. I've just been so preoccupied with other projects (not even DeLorean-related) to spend any time on it. It was just a fun weekend project, I wasn't expecting much out of it.

[Kevin]

I'll be there! Looking forward to seeing 905 as well, the previous owner was one of the first DeLorean owners I had ever met but I've never seen the car, it sure sounded nice though.

As for work, if Josh is coming and planning on doing work, I'd like to see about getting a new AC compressor installed as was planned for the last meet.

Mind if I ride down with you? I'm not far at all from you.

[Michael Babb]

No go for me. :-(

My grandmother is turning 100 on October 10th, so I will be up in Pennsylvania that weekend.

[Iznodmad]

That's a special occasion Michael, I wouldn't want to miss a centennial celebration either! Hopefully you can catch the next event in the Spring of 2014! Thanks for letting me know.

Aww, so no raffle this time? :( That's too bad, I cleaned up at the raffle last time!

Congrats to your Grandmother!

[Iznodmad]

Figured I would go ahead and start a list of attendees. As a reminder, if you haven't already, place in writing in this thread parts needed and projects you want help with. Please also contact DPI Josh directly to order parts ahead of time and schedule time for labor ahead of the event. Please do this as soon as possible for planning purposes. I have already done so with Josh, and my list is too long for the purposes of this thread. Like previous events, I can help anyone needing tires or alignments at the event if you let me know ahead of time at a tire shop 3 miles from my house. I also have confirmation of Dwayne G photography and AluminumArt prints to be in attendance again. He has some new products he is working on (to be kept a secret right now), and will have samples/prototypes available at the show.

looks like I'm going to be living at your house for a while Darren! Just slide food and water under the door and switch the cars out between jobs.

[todd1561]

Hey Darren,

It looks like I'll be bringing a friend along, he's in town for a few months and is interested in the event.

See you all on the 12th.

Todd

[Hokie]

Hey Darren - I've been in contact with Josh and he's given me a tentative price. Just need to know how early I should be there as I need to be able to head back home ASAP, so I'm counting on being there as early as possible. Should I converse with Josh about that?

[Iznodmad]

Ok, thanks for the addition (ride-along) Todd. I've spoken with Hokie (Mark) regarding possible start time, still TBD.

Adding a few possibilities/maybes

Worth M (1D)-pending repairs made to his car
John Weaver (1D)-???
Matthew C-Likely not bringing his D.
Tony S(1D)???

Hello to all,

Doug from Virginia, looks like this event might be a great way to get my feet wet.
I was looking for threads what you guys do to the first time owners. :):)

I will be trying to move a few days off so I can drive down and say hello.
So I am a maybe and will update.

Doug G.

[Chris Burns]

Welcome to DMC world Doug!!

This is a great event and you will love it!!

What part of VA are you from?

[Doug.gaspo]

Thanks Chris for the welcome. Mike, I live in Haymarket.

[Iznodmad]

Awesome Doug. I hope you can make it. I'm not certain if you will be driving a DeLorean or not? We won't be too mean to you as a new owner. Lol. J/k.

First look at the upcoming weather forecast is freaking awesome. Sunny, high of 75, 0% chance of rain! No excuses as far as the weather forecast.

Btw, I'm 99% sure the menu will be hamburgers and hot dogs. Never done that before, and it will be catered in. Probably buy a little extra that I can cook on the grill at my house if we wipe out what I'm having brought in.

[FLYBOY]

Count me in, bringing the Delorean .
Anyone driving from the Asheville area?

Able to help, I only need minor door adjustment.

Im riding with Rad Dad from Asheville (Hendersonville) in his D!

[Silkie]

Sadly i am not going to be able to attend this year.
I was looking forward to it!
I am currently scraping and saving for the LCA replacement and repair.
Hopefully i will be able to attend next year!

[thirdmanj]

Thanks Chris for the welcome. Mike, I live in Haymarket.

About 3.5 hours from me. Maybe we'll meet up sometime.

[Doug.gaspo]

I tried right up to the last minute but unable to attend, I will look forward to next year.
Hope everyone has a fun and safe time.

[Hokie]

Tremendous event! Even though Josh was a no-show due to an unfortunate accident, Walter Fox, future Master of Mechanical Engineering, replaced my belts and also carted me around looking for oil for an oil change. Thanks Walter! And a special shout out to Darren and Melissa for hosting, and for Darren taking me to the parts store. Your hospitality and friendship is greatly appreciated. And it's always a privilege to be able to view the three finest D's on the east coast, possibly the country! Darren, you are blessed!

[TripleZeroFilms]

Well, as always, the event was wonderful! Thanks so much Darren for hosting such a fun and friendly event. I really appreciate you letting me ride in/drive your cars - and for giving me a new "automatic" goal to shoot for ;)

It's always nice being able to put faces to new names and to reconnect with old friends. I truly enjoyed talking to everyone and getting to check out all the amazing cars. It's a shame Josh couldn't make it as I know many people were counting on some new parts and surely could have gotten more work done. However, that didn't dampen the spirit around camp, and I know we all had a good time. I know I for one am already looking forward to the next one!

As a note, I did shoot a couple minutes of footage (I was too busy talking to shoot more). I'll try and get it edited together and posted in the coming week.

Thanks again Darren!

[Mike C.]

I have to say, this was a great event! I had a fantastic time reconnecting with everyone again, and have to admit Darren's latest acquisition is definitely a pretty lil car :biggrin:

Darren, thanks to you and your family for the hospitality, and for lunch/dinner. Hopefully we didn't scare your sons too much LOL

[about2livethedream]

Have to echo everyone here. Great time...thanks for all the info everyone shared. Pleasure meeting everyone! Thanks to FLYBOY for the ride!

What a great reason to get out and drive the car. We are really
Lucky to have someone throw an event like this so close.

Thanks Darren
