I'm not sure a thread was ever started for this, but if it was, here's another!

The goal is to get at least 30 DeLoreans at the event, which we're calling "30 for 30", as it is both the 30th running of the British car day, and also the 30th anniversary of the last production year of the DeLorean.

There are details of the show at THIS LINK (http://www.torontotriumph.com/BCD/). Hope to see you all there!

What the hell??!?! You actually got that many people to come out of the woodwork? You need to come down to Georgia and corral our troops for the next get-together!

Excellent turn out :)

Whats the average turn out for events in America?

If I'm not mistaken, we had 32 DeLoreans there today. Amazing time had by all. Great to see some of the new faces, catch up with some of the old, and put faces to some usernames even!

Plenty of US owners made the trek and it sounds like checking out Canada and the Toronto area was fun for them. Maybe a DCSC (... DeLorean Car Show Canada that is) isn't that far off?

Here's a shot or two of the "annual meeting of time travellers"... got quite the tunnel shot set-up with 30+ cars in it. There were some group photos taken (of the people, not just the cars, but none with my camera, so I'll wait for someone else to post).

I heard one of the event people say they thought there were 1,200 cars there in total.

And a huge thank you to Michael B. in coordinating much of it. We would still be only getting 2-5 cars there if you weren't putting that great effort in. Much appreciated buddy :)

Here's a group photo from one of the cameras used. Probably no less than a dozen owners missing from the shot as this was later in the day when cars had already started to leave (a little rain + the prizes already given out will do that :) )

This is quite impressive, I enjoyed the pictures on FB! It is almost - dare I say - too many Deloreans!?

I challenge you guys to get every single car from Ontario to the next show... I know I did it, we had all of the Deloreans in SK in the cruise weekend show this year. All 2 of them! :P

I saw a video of this event on FB.
Looks like a DeLorean has a custom brown interior.
Does anyone has more pictures of this one by any chances?

It would be nice, but there are something like 65 of us, and a good number of them are what we call very "inactive".

That's our official club mascot, Venessa. She made that herself. It's pretty damn awesome. If you search youtube, you can find some videos of her transforming.

Indeed it is. Very cool chick. And yes, she's snagged up, but not by anyone in the DeLorean community oddly enough :hmm:

As our mascot, she is welcome anywhere! No invite needed :)

Hey... that's my car! ...and me :)

Here's a few more Dermot. The non-UK ones were part of some exotic car rental thing like you find in Vegas. The McLaren had left by the time I took some photos. It had a flag wrap/paint job which was pretty neat.

I like the Aston Martin Lagonda and Lotus Esprit S2 John Player Special.

And the DeLorean transformer girl is beyond words - awesome :thumbup:

Thanks Jonathan.

Always love me those old A-Ms. TVRs are a rare sight also.

(Why are British car shows always in fields? :lol: Just like the ones Martin & David post from Ireland)

So you don't see the oil drips as you would on concrete. :lol:
