DCF Event: 2012 Celebration Exotic Car Festival April 14-15, 2012

[sadeeky]

It's that time again! Time to clean up your cars, shine those tires, and open those wallets for a great cause!

The Celebration Exotic Car Festival has become an anticipated yearly event for the Florida DeLorean community, as we tend do have a great showing and a great time which benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Don't have a DeLorean? Dont worry! Come on out and experience millions of dollars of exotic supercars, including offerings from Bugatti, McLaren, Lamborghini, as well as an atmosphere that is truly unique to the town of Celebration. We would also like to extend a hearty invitation to any other delorean enthsiasts or owners from out of the area which may be able to make the trip.


The actual car show is Saturday, April 14, 2012. However the Festival has activities scheduled for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Please check the show website for details of the other dates.

CELEBRATION EXOTIC CAR SHOW 2012 WEEKEND

April 14th - Saturday Car Show, 8:30am to 4:00pm Sponsored by: DeLorean Motor Company Florida!!

Location: Celebration, FL (Kissimmee/Orlando Area)

Join us for the 2012 Celebration Exotic Car Show to benefit various charities such as the Make A Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, and Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital!

The show kicks off Saturday morning on Main Street in Celebration, FL. Cars begin to arrive at 8:30am. Registration for the show is $50.
Registration is now open at www.celebrationexoticcars.com.
Please register ASAP as space is limited and we came close to reaching that limit last year.

With several new owners in the area and participating this year, we are sure to max out our spaces this year. The Celebration show is without a doubt the largest annual DeLorean show gathering, with 19 owners participating in 2011. The show is hosted by a fellow owner, Jeff Ippoloti.

************************************************** *********************

As a special treat, Tony has graciously offered to pay for HALF the entry fee for the first 10 people to register! That's right!! Once again, the first ten participants to register will receive $25.00 from Tony the day of the show!

Don't forget, you can also call the shop at 239-495-8550 to pre-order your parts for any upcoming jobs!

In addition to the "official" show happenings, DCF will be hosting the following events:

DCF Celebration Post-Show Dinner: Saturday, April 14th, 2012 @ approximately 7PM - ????

For those of us who can't easily afford $125 pp for dinner following the show, we have arranged to have dinner at an authentic Irish Pub & Restaurant!

Laura and I went there to check it out, and were impressed immediately. They have many beers on tap, an outdoor concert area, and live Irish music inside. The menu is rather large, and offers traditional Irish cuisine as well as burgers and such. There is literally something for everyone here, and all ages are welcome. The owners will be reserving "DeLorean only" parking right up front for our group that night, so please post in this thread if you intend to come. This promises to be a fun night for all who attend!

DCF Post-Celebration Tech Day / Cookout: Sunday, April 15, 2012 10AM-4PM

On Sunday, Laura and I will host a get together the likes of which haven't been seen in several years...

That's right, my friends... we're kicking it old school. This year, we will all meet at:

Momma Shelton's House
1380 Windermere Rd.
Winter Garden, FL 34787

For those of you who have taken part in years past, you know that some of our best and most attended events happened there. So, what better place to get 2012 started than where it all began? There's plenty of parking, a covered carport area, and a bevy of collective DMC expertise to assist you!

This year, Laura and I will be providing the hot dogs & hamburgers. Drinks, chips & sides will be done potluck-style. We will post up a list of needed items, and you just sign up for whatever you want to bring.

Bring your extra chairs, your DeLoreans, and any tools you may need to tackle the small jobs you want to get done to your car. Keep in mind, I no longer live @ this address so my tools won't be available for you to borrow.

Also, be sure to only attempt smallish jobs that can be done in a few hours, as we will need to wrap this up @ 4PM SHARP.

As always, if you have any questions or comments please post them below.

More to come, stay tuned for details!

Iam very interested in joining DCF but I tried twice to email the contact on the website but I get no response. Please tell me how do I join

I can bring the torsion bar jig and breaker bar, but that won't move your door forward. To do that, you're talking about adjusting hinges. I haven't ventured down that road before, so I won't be of much assistance as far as advice.

I think with a few of us we can figure it out. From my understanding the hard part is getting the torsion bar un-tensioned. From there it's just an awkward maneuver to loosen the hinges and shift a teeny hair at a time while not dropping the unsupported door.

Hey John,

Are you sure that you and the family wouldn't be interested in dinner this time? We picked this place specifically because it is family friendly; we thought that the main reason we didn't have much dinner participation in the past was due to our less family friendly restaurant selections.

This time we are trying to appeal to everyone's needs, and I think we found a place that really has something for everyone.

I didn't realize there were issues with restaurant choices in the past, and usually you guys hit the cigar bar after anyways. I feel incredibly guilty if I leave the wife and kid alone all day while I'm off with my hobby, which is why I tend to skip out on the last events of the day. Since my wife is Irish I thought for sure I would have gotten her interested but she just wasn't interest at the time (could be the whole pregnancy thing). I figured since we're doing the tech meet the next day it wouldn't be a big deal. I can keep trying with her though.

Hi Everyone,

We are officially less than a month away from Celebration weekend! As of today, we have 8 cars registered, so two you still have time to get in for HALF the registration fee.

Please remember, Early Registration discounts end March 25th! So if you are on the fence about attending, please make sure you register before then.

I know DCS is just a couple of months away, but Celebration is its own great car show that benefits many needy charities. We hope to see you there!!

One more registration in. That means one spot left for Tony's half price discount!

[Morpheus]

Hmm, I wonder if I can register just my frame...

Hmm, I wonder if I can register just my frame...

Even without any discount offers, half price for half a car would certainly sound fair to me...
