I was another of the folks who caravanned out to the '91 gathering in Vegas. Along with Bruce, Paul, several others, it was a great trip - I joined it in Colorado. We all remember Guy's twin tubo'd red D. We also remember that he ran out of gas in the most inopportune place - - but all is well that ends well. Touring with other D owners is probably the most exciting and rewarding thing one can do - - at least in a Delorean!!!
I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to the DMCMW event, bit at least my DeLorean did.

Hi Bruce!
I'm sorry that I completely spaced on remembering you were there in the parking lot, too. I swear, that tactical flashlight you had could've signaled astronauts in space! I updated my blog and put you in there for the tech session. Thanks for the help that night and it doesn't surprise me that you had a change of heart in selling your car. It seems like I'll own things but you know, even when you buy it, that you'll get rid of it someday. I've never had that feeling with my car. Unless things drastically change for one reason or another, I'd anticipate this will be something I'll be interested in for a loooooong time.
I'm not sure exactly what it is with the car, but it can be very dangerous in the sense of how it can really grab ahold of you. The history, the story, the stainless construction, owning a significant piece of automotive history, how 'personal' your VIN is and how it can tell a story just by its number, etc. It's like your car has had an incredibly traceable life. I think there are a ton of factors involved and hopefully owners have a lot of time and money because it'll grab you! But being a part of such a great ownership group makes ownership that much more fun.

Dave, it was great seeing the new place...even if it was only for 5 minutes. Thanks for showing me around. Looks like you had a great turn out.

On my "better late than never" theme of the week, I got a few photos recently that my older brother took at the DMC Midwest Open House.
To my knowledge, he was one of the only people who took a few photos from the roof (Mike from DMC Midwest let him up on the roof) and
to my knowledge, he was one of the few folks taking photos with traditional 35mm film (he probably just finished the roll around October 1).
Anyway, I took a few digital photos of the prints, so they are not the greatest quality, but it is a neat perspective of the Open House event.
