Turn your head and cough...

My car is awaiting parts. A new pair of lower control arms and ball joints, as well as a new fuel accumulator and air filter. My new mechanic, Import Auto Technicians, will be working on the car. He thinks he can halt the engine surging with the new fuel accumulator. I hope so, but would've thought that the manufacturer would've known the accumulator is bad.

In any case the car should be ready for the Feb. 13 car show in Colorado Springs. I look forward to driving it again as soon as the snow is gone.

First show of 2010 applied for today!

I just sent off my entrant's form for the first show of 2010, sponsored by Pro-Promotions. These guys put on a great show every year, and what's really great about it is that it's indoors! They get great attendance in winter, so you feel like it's worth your time to be in the show. They do great things like require a photo of your car, and they don't let 50 Mustangs in. They guarantee a good mix of cars and bikes, and they take up the entire Expo Center in Colorado Springs so you're not sharing your car with the Metaphysical Fair fruitcakes.

Show: Feb. 13 & 14, 2010
Where: Phil Long Expo Center, I-25 and Academy Blvd., Highway 83
Time: 9:00am till 6:00pm (Sat.), 10:00am till 5:00pm (Sun)

Showing off the cars - again

I met Jim and his family today. His sons wanted to see a Delorean after seeing one on the highway a couple of weeks ago. My friend Dan brought his car to Westminster and we both met Jim near Hwy 104. Jim also created a neato logo for our car club...

Cleaning - the last time this year?

I'm making the trip to Winchester, CO on Sunday so a Dad can show his sons a Delorean. My friend, Dan, will be there also. I'm just cleaning my car for the trip tomorrow...

Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade in 2010!

I've signed up our group for the Denver 2010 St. Patrick's Day Parade. Our group, the Rocky Mountian Deloreans, won the car club award for the 2009 Colorado Springs St. Patrick's Day Parade. The Colorado Springs parade committe invited us back for 2010, but the majority of Delorean owners live in Denver/Englewood/Aurora, so I think we should move the event closer to other owners for 2010.

The Denver parade is March 13, 2010, starting at 10:00am. See you there!

Cruisin' Above the Clouds

I went to the Cruisin' Above the Clouds in Woodland Park on September 13. It was cloudy and cool, and then it turned cold, downright cold. One Lotus Elise owner, whom I have met at the British Conclave last year, let me sit in his car. It was, well, different just trying to sit in the car. I don't think I'm capatible with an Elise.

The Colorado Conclave!

I'm attending the Colorado British Conclave this Fall, Sept. 19 & 20th. Deloreans are somewhat less-than-preferred attendees, as the car was made in Northern Ireland for the American market. Our Delorean group has been invited this year and I hope several owners attend.
