    D Sighting

    Whose D?

    11:45am today near junction of Kimball Br and Northpoint Pkwy in Alpharetta.

    Just got a quick glance. Front DMC plate. Rear GA plate read in rear view as possibly 82DMC12

    Anyone here?

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    Not sure on that one, but I saw one about 1 month ago on Friday morning, Buford hwy near Thompson mill, wasn't Derek, and driver didn't look familar. Second time I have seen one in Hamilton mill area in 3 months....

    Cant get the pic to load, but doubt it was derek. That delorean is aleays at dandy dougnuts on sat. I met the owner once. I think he even came to a tech session, without his car. At the time he was putting in injectors...

    Nope, wasn't me. More than likely that was Ray Troxell, from Stone Mountain. I know he's frequented that gathering before. I went to it once a few years ago, but it's just too darn early for me.

    Ray came to one of our tech sessions at the shop in Norcross. He's an older gentleman, but fun to talk to and as nice and friendly as it gets.

    Probably is Ray, then. I found his name on a couple of Donut sites.

    Ha, found another one from 2002.

    If one is Rays, then the other could potentially be mine (well the PO's) as it would have been in it's prime then, and close to his house.

    The picture in your earlier post showed up just fine (at least on my computer) with the red Ferrari.

    The latest pic you posted of the 2 D's... that's mine and Ray's. Someone must have put the wrong year, because that pic is from April 2005. The *one* day I went to Donut Derelicts. Not to say it's a bad gathering or anything, but not large enough to drag me out of bed that early. (Have I mentioned I'm a night owl?) Caffeine and Octane on the other hand.... more worth it.

    It's funny, Ray and I have almost the exact same license plate.
