DeLorean World Tour - late Feb. event in SF/Bay Area
In advance of the upcoming NCDMC event planning session here's a Feb. event pre-announcement.
I've been in touch with the DeLorean World Tour team about their intended swing through our area.
For now the DWTour team plans to be here for 2 days sometime around Feb. 25 - we're located in the middle of their West Coast USA southbound leg. They are very interested in meeting Northern Calif. D owners as part of their DeLorean World Tour Worldwide Encounter.
It's too soon to plan locations or timing - this is only a heads up. Ken M. here notes that we can't expect them to wait for our weekends so be flexible - they are on a mission! I'm offering to be the point of contact for the NCDMC clan. If another of you wants to paste this note into the NCDMC facebook page go ahead.
We can expect more details after the DeLorean World Tour restarts from Vancouver BC ~Feb. 20.
Meantime check out their plans and their progress:

Day 52 in Myanmar in their Travel Blog looks particularly impressive, bridge- and ravine-wise...let's plan to welcome the DWTour team to see some REAL bridges next month.

DWTour team into SF Bay Area on 26-Feb.?
Update about our DeLorean WorldTour friends as they prepare to re-start their journey now that they have collected their cars in Vancouver BC.
From their WhatsApp chat today I see estimated arrival to San Francisco on Friday, Feb. 26.
This opens the possibility of convenient DeLorean event-connection this coming weekend.
I think they plan to make it SF-centric - they have 3 potential hotel sites chosen, 2 in SF itself and one nearby in South San Francisco near the airport. They will be arriving thru/near Sacramento in case there can be some opportunity along the way in that area.
At the moment nothing is firm for a SF-area get-together - I plan to work up one or more opportunities. PM ideas if you like. Am thinking photo stops plus driving in and around SF - yes, they have auto. transmissions in their cars.
Bruce is set to connect with them as they depart the Bay Area when they drive through Santa Cruz.

DWTour routing via Hwy 101 south to SF
And now a correction to the DeLorean World Tour routing.
The updated routing now does not include an I-5 segment past Sacramento - they plan to use US 101 to US 1 along the Mendocino and Sonoma Coast sections, direct to SF on Friday the 26th.
Confirming that the DeLorean World Tour team's hoping for a day of SF sightseeing and driving fun on Saturday the 27th. They booked their rooms in the Marina District (near Presidio and GG Bridge).
Who's up for joining for any part of this on Saturday? Plans still to be developed. Maybe all day but come and go as available?

San Francsico event Sat. Feb. 28 with DeLorean World Tour team
Update for this Saturday in San Francisco with Klaus, Andre and Wolfgang.
Date: Saturday, 27 Feb.
Place: TENTATIVE meetup at the Marina Green parking lot with DWTour and NCDMC
Time: TBD - I have proposed 9:30AM meetup, will confirm or update to participants directly, not in DMCTalk - later arrival is OK, we can catch each other by phone as the day goes on. Early departures OK.
Car: DeLoreans preferred, not mandatory
Bring: FRS radio if you have one - sometimes SF traffic can string us out
Attendance: PM me if I have not already been in touch with you about this event.
Activities: TBD and largely depending on what they want to see and how they want to get there. Am preparing several segments of routes to popular places. Food and rest stops along the way, sightseeing. Hoping that we can at least do Lombard Street and the GG Bridge overlooks. And maybe beer.
