WOW!
What a great show!!!
Friday night started with meeting up with old friends at the hotel and DMCH
where they unveiled the new ELECTRIC Delorean and new resin-infused under-body that weighs only 250lbs.

Saturday was amazing with Bill Haddad telling some amazing stories about John Z. Delorean.



There were some mixed emotions because he said some really disparaging things about John, my favorite of which was when he said "John used to call black people [admin edit]n-word[/admin edit]"....the whole room twitched, and then slowly turned around to look at
the black cameraman who returned a smile.
HILARIOUS!!!!


Here I am posing with Bill.

We did tech sessions and tours all day, lots of great information.


Here, Bill and Tony teach us about stainless repair...

I brought my latest Delorean Time Machine ( build #8 )

Here it is being admired and photographed by Gary Weaver, who also brought his Time Machine as did Paul Nigh.


He must have really like it, because he took a lot of photos!!!

Later that night we had a great BBQ dinner and rode the mechanical bull.
The high light of my night was the lap dance I got from James Espy for $5.
He sat on my lap while I stuffed cash down his shirt.
**(someone please post video of this!!!)**

When we got back to the hotel we were STILL hungry (and a little drunk)
so we footed it to the JACK IN THE BOX but only the drive thru was open,
luckily Kevin had his INVISIBLE CAR so we all hopped in and placed an order.


(me and James in the back seat of course)

Sunday was awesome at the race track event where we got to race our cars on the track, surprisingly the ELECTRIC Delorean is the FASTEST!!!



Myself, Paul Nigh and Gary Weaver decided to race our three Time Machines,
I lapped them both twice and ran circles around them!!!
Of course, I grew up racing go-karts so I guess I had an advantage!!

Here is a video of my first run on the track.


On the way home back to to Dallas we stopped in Huntsville and the Texas Prison museum....




I think I am going to build a replica of this chair!!!

Anyway, thanks Stephen and James for another great show!!!
I had an awesome time with all my old friends and I look forward to seeing you all again next summer in Orlando!!

I didn't think to take a photo of the new binnacle sample, but I checked it out and it is the same plastic texture and color as the reproduction dashes, so it will match up to that perfectly.
It is totally ABS injection molded plastic and I think it looks great, at least you won't have to ever worry about it shrinking or expanding and cracking up, it is light weight and the color shouldn't ever fade.
I'd buy one, I'm sure I will!!!

That's good news. Did they mention what the price tag would be?

Amazing how if you selectively word something it has a totally different meaning isn't it? How utterly predictable and typically pathetic of you Robert. Just how much of a zoom lens did you have to use to get those pics. Were you sitting behind the window or something?

In truth - here is why I was taking pictures of all three time machines at the show.

As for the "race" it was hardly anything but. Paul and I talked about it before you made your way to the track. We thought it would be nice for the show to have a shot of all three Time Machines on the track together. YOU were the only one who thought it was a race and actually treated it as such. Some of us had to actually drive our cars home - you on the other hand took a clients car and hot dogged it with the pedal all the way to the floor. Just watching you nearly fishtail off the track a couple times thanks to all the weight on the back of your car was MORE than enough reason to never want to ever race a time machine conversion.

Congrats to you

Pretty cool comparison. Amazing how all three are so different.
