There will be two DeLoreans at the Madison, WI "Cars on State" show on June 4 2016. In addition to the immaculate stock DMC-12 that is usually there, I'll be bringing my black DMC-12. It's a small show but has some great local cars.

Thanks for the heads up, always nice to hear about other DeLoreans in WI. If I didn't already have plans I'd be tempted to drive down and check out the show.

Wish I had known a little sooner, I have a grad party to go to. I'd feel like a heel to back out now. :wink:

It was a fun event, with a great turnout and fine weather (despite predictions of rain). Here's a photo:

Thanks for sharing the photos, looks like it was a fun time.

Your black DeLorean looks really cool with the headlight blackouts and debadged grille. I can't say that I've ever seen a photo of it before or seen it any any local events. I'm guessing you don't get that one out much?

You are correct. It sat in the garage for some time but over the last few years with the help of DMC Midwest I've been able to get it back on the road. It still needs more work, but I am happy that it is at a state I can drive it and show it again. I have some projects in mind for it that I'll be sharing here as I do them.

I'm glad to see another WI D emerge from hiding. Did you happen to come to the DMCMW open house last year? There was a Black D that showed up briefly that afternoon. I might have brought to the that show had I known about it. As it is,

I was participating at a British car show in Bloomington IL that weekend with 6 other Midwest owners. One of those cars was Black too. He was from St Louis.

Yes, that was me. I showed up after the drone photo was taken (it would have stood out!) and stayed for 2 or 3 hours. It was a great event with good turn-out.

Fantastic, I'm sure we'll cross paths somewhere in the future. Will you be coming to DCS Springfield?

Dithermaster also showed up one time with the first Chevy Volt I'd ever seen in person.

I could be mistaken but I also think it's white.

Yeah, but was it diamond tri-coat white ? [emoji6]

I think it was the more bright white.

Another interesting coincidence - have you figured out that his name is really "Dennis"?

Yes, but not with the DeLorean.. A/C broken and only one window works -- not a fun July combo. I'll be bringing the car that replaced the Volt Dave speaks of.

Actually, it was! Are there two of me?!?

Sounds like it. A bizarre coincidence. What year was the volt and when ,where did you trade it?

2012 traded in December near Chicago. I had the black leather interior with red accents. It was a great car; only burned gas less than 20% of the miles driven (and a big part of that was a road trip to Detroit with no road charging).
