I recently accepted a new position at Peterson Air Force Base (Northern Command / NORAD), with my company, and will be moving full-time this spring. Until then I fly home on Fridays, and back on Sundays.
BTW- 14 cars- sounds like a great time!!!!!!

Welcome to Colorado Jason,
I did the work in someplace else all week... Houston.... fly home to Denver on the weekend routine for a year and 6 months about 10 years ago. I enjoyed it for a while but it does get old.
Our club is fairly active, we get together for lots of events each year or just for informal tech sessions fairly regularly. In fact we have decided to do the Colorado Springs St. Patricks Day Parade this year instead of Denver! We are also putting together a list of shows in and around the Colorado Mountains for the up coming season to fill the schedule as it were. We are also discussing a trip to the Western slope to visit the Gateway Museum http://www.gatewayautomuseum.com/ the best part of that trip will be the 55 miles of smooth twisties it takes to get there!
There are a couple of less active owners in Springs but maybe now that you are around, you can get them involved again. I also have a good buddy who is a pilot in the National Guard and is the Flight Safety office for the C130 Fire Suppression team and is at Peterson field! So I get to Springs a lot! Not to mention my mother-in-law is a Colorado Springs resident.
I will talk to our guys about what it takes to get you on our regular mailing list so you can be aware of what we are doing and what is going on! I don't spend a lot of time on the DML ever since it crashed, much of its best stuff was lost and still not recovered.
fyi- Everything you had done to your car we could handle in pretty short order, a couple of years ago we decided to become more self reliant not only because of the distance between us and the Delorean Service Centers but also cost and we don't exactly trust our local Delorean vendor (Haglin Automotive in Boulder, Co). His work is average at best, and we've had to redo things every once in a while after a car comes back from his shop. Because of this we have become extremely profficient in not only the routine stuff but also, brakes, suspensions, exhuast, interior work and everything inbetween. We even have a couple of guys who are really good at electronics who have helped us work through many inherent Lucas problems... "Lucas electronics... Because a Gentleman doesn't drive at night!"
Next week a group of us are gathering at my home to work on a non-Delorean project. My wife has a 1969 Firebird and we will be dropping in a newly built 455 ci Pontiac Motor that I had built. If you are interested send me a note and I will give you the details. I am on the south end of the metro Denver in Littleton about 60 miles from Peterson Field.
I look forward to meeeting you when ever that may be!
