Hi,

My sister's boyfriend said he saw a DeLorean within the last couple of days but didn't catch the license plate. Was anybody passing through recently?

i was in VA beach last month for cars and coffee. I think the next one is this weekend, by the way. Aside from that, short trips through hampton, newport news, suffolk and smithfield.

If you're in Virginia Beach again any time soon we should meet up. I was the guy you talked to on the phone around last December when I first joined the original dmctalk.com.

There used to be a delorean at nas oceana and I saw it a few times at nab little creek. This has been about four years ago though. I used to live off north Hampton and independence blvd.

haha I was just around that area last night, one of my best friends lives around there.

But yeah, definitely, if you come down for one of the meets soon let me know, it would be cool to meet and check out the car!

Yup, I know exactly where that is...I only know of two DeLoreans nearby. One was in a neighborhood off Lynnhaven but that was about 5 or 6 years ago and then recently I learned that someone owns one in Chesapeake because he was selling it on ebay.

... I think. Genro's in the Haygood Shopping hosts an amateur car show every Saturday starting about 4ish goes to about 8ish. I was headed home down Little Creek Rd at about 9 PM. Is there another owner near by? Because I'd love to get in touch.

My uncle lives in that area, back in Alanton. When I was 15 he took me down the road from his house and it was somewhere near the small ampitheater there was a D at a gas station with a missing louvers off of it and a missing back windshield. If my D was running I'd come down there and hang with you guys 8/

Well that's why I was surprised that I hadn't heard from you on the boards. I've been on here like 8 months looking for people near Virginia Beach.

Did you happen to stop at a Tropical Smoothie because I think that's where my sister's boyfriend said he saw the car.

Where in Norfolk do you live? It's just weird because I never see any DeLoreans on the road around here. The last time I saw one was like 6 years ago.

You guys want to meet at Jenro's or Cars and Coffee. I'm partial to c and c because it's more a car crowd and less a local moron crowd.

Yes, that was most definitely me. I stopped in there just before we took off for home. As to the meeting question, hells yes. I've been looking for others for almost as long as I've had the car. I've never been to C and C, but it sounds nice. When do we meet up?

Awesome! I had a feeling I'd find out who was at Tropical Smoothie by coming to the forums :)

Obviously I don't have a DeLorean yet but I'd love to meet you guys and check out the cars.

It'll be awesome. I went to the DMA Spring Social in April and everybody was great. Two members took me for a ride and one actually let me drive his and afterwards I had zero doubt in my mind about getting one.

On Saturday once again I'll be the one without a DeLorean but I don't care, I'll own one sooner rather than later and I love meeting others in the DMC community.

may be down here in Norfolk 1Mcfly4u, but now that we know of one another's existence I'm sure we'll be able to coordinate more meetings. Will we see you at C&C this Saturday in VA Beach?

I'd love to come down, let me talk to the wife and see how she feels about an overnighter down there, of course once I tell her we're going to Ocean Eddie's Friday night, Saturday morning should be no problem. I'll check tonight and give you guys a positive or not.

Unfortunately it looks like I may have to work Saturday but if things change I'll let you guys know. I don't actually have a DeLorean but was looking forward to meeting you guys and maybe seeing a DMC again.

The wife and I did a quick recon down there to the promenade shops yesterday, wow! What a set of shops. And a nice big parking lot. I was talking to the guys in the Starbucks and they were telling me that the place gets PACKED with beautiful cars! I look forward to seeing you all there, I hop you can make it!

I don't have to work so I'll be there in the morning. Anyone with a DMC willing to let me do the classic Back to the Future Marty-checking-his-watch pose? I know it's corny but I didn't get to do it at the Spring Social and for some reason I really want a picture like that.

See you guys tomorrow!
