Parked safe and sound in Colorado...

My car is parked for the weekend in my garage whilst I'm in New Mexico at my wife's high school reunion. I would've liked to have brought it for the 8-hour drive, but the allure of very cushy seats, a working speedometer and cruise control made me pick another car. I'm taking a day off work next Friday to get my car to Haglin Automotive in Boulder, CO for some work.

Speedometer repair scheduled...

I'm scheduled for my speedometer repair on July 17, 2009 at Haglin Automotive in Boulder, CO. I'm taking a day of vacation to sit with my car as I need it the next weekend for a car show. I'll have my brakes checked and a few minor things while I'm there.

I made June and July wallpapers!

Ta Da! Photos that I took of my DMC-12 made both the June and July 2009 wallpapers on the Delorean Motor Company website. Owners submit photos of their cars and the company selects the best for their free wallpaper location, see http://www.delorean.com/emailmore.asp. I have another shot planned I hope to submit to them later this year, which is a view of Pike's Peak shown through the front windshield showing the cabin of the car. It'll have to be taken with a fisheye, but I happen to own one of those so I'm looking forward to getting the picture.

Holiday: Great! Speedometer: Kaput

With some diagnostic help from the DMCTalk.com website, I believe my angle drive (speedometer gear) has died an untimely death. Angle drive, I shall miss thee. While it's not terribly expensive to replace, it's only got 5K miles on the drive. Thank heaven I can replace it using the car jack...

Relay for Life Event - I went to two of 'em!

Charles K. brought his BTTF Delorean and I took photos. Those who donated $1 or $5 got a printed photo on the spot. I left my event at 9:45pm and made it over to another RFL event where a co-worker was running.

Tri-Lakes Cruisers Show - Monument, CO

So I spent today in downtown Monument, CO at the Tri-Lakes Cruiser's Benefit Car Show. There was quite a nice mix of old and new cars. The newest was Porsche Boxster that had just had its first oil change. My favorite was the 1930 rebuilt Chrysler with a rumble seat. I won no awards but it was a very nice day for a show!

Impromptu Car Show

So I was getting my hair cut today and my barber told me of a carshow in a grocery store parking lot. I visited and showed my car just long enough to see the other cars. These two delightful young ladies were promoting a luau for a restaurant and must have been freezing. This is the first time females have been photographed with my car! I shoulda sucked my gut in I guess...
