Fall Central FL GTG/Tech Day........September 27, 2008
 
Well, some out there are itching for another gtg..

This time I want to do something else... How about a tech day?

I live in a subdivision and should be able to have access to allow cars to park on the grass behind my house ( my house is located behind the park). I have a good sized back yard for hanging out and grilling, wifi for shopforum access. Some tools.

Perhaps do some form of quick lunch, pizza or hams and hots and caravan after to a local place for dinner.( week before this I have my Delorean Club Tech day that I am planning and coordinating as well!)

Tentative date is September 27th, 2008. A Saturday. I still need to get the go ahead to have it here from my mom as well as the HOA prez to use the park for cars to park on the grass behind my house.


Those interested add your name to the list and spread the word to everyone else on the forum... I am always trying to outdo the last gtg. Plus I can have my personal mechanic come out as well for inspections and any questions you have. Everyone remembers Pierre

I am interested.

vstech 07-29-2008 03:39 PM

Hmmmm.
not far from my aunt's house in lakeland...
I may be able to come, bring some a/c tools/freon. perhaps do some valve adjusts and such while there... maybe by then I will have my 4 speed on the road, or perhaps gotten somewhere with the Euro TD...

Chad300tdt 07-29-2008 03:52 PM

Cool ... I'm having a GTG on the same day ... at least that's what it looks like so far. We'll have to check in on the forum during the GTGs and see how the other is going.:cool:

Good luck with it Joe, not that you need it. It seems you have the Midas touch for event planning.:)

not to brag but.. Its looking like I might be selected as the Delorean Owners Association Chapter-6 FL president....


I tend to obsess over planning.. I'm the only part time stock clerk that gets the honor of doing planograms at the store( reset the shelves so you customers cant find crap)(I hate planograms)....


Anyways.. Lets make this a sweet event. Tomorrow I will go bother the HOA prez and outline what I'd like to use the park for. I might be able to also borrow a big ass grill and just do a whole pig as well as other fun things we mercedes benz owners like

Is Davenport near Lakeland?

TheDon 07-29-2008 06:15 PM

yes

79Mercy 07-29-2008 06:17 PM

Count me in joe. What time?

TheDon 07-29-2008 06:56 PM

dont know yet.. I need to sit down and plan it.. this is just me claiming the fall gtg

79Mercy 07-29-2008 06:58 PM

Okay, let me know if I can do anything to help out.

The Swede 07-29-2008 07:11 PM

Hmmm... sounds intriguing. Maybe it'll work out this time.

I could use an end of summer vacation. I'll stay at the Naples condo at drive up...

TheDon 07-29-2008 10:58 PM

very nice

CoyoteStarfish 07-29-2008 11:02 PM

Awww what the hell.

I was going to come! But then I read that you have a Delorean.*jealous* :mad:

I hope it rots!!

Awww. Wait, it won't! *cries* Stupid superior building techniques! Stupid stainless steel!

*sighs* Alright alright. Where is it? :D

TheDon 07-29-2008 11:03 PM

I don't have a Delorean, yet... I'm just big in the club

the frame will rot due to its made out of epoxy coated steel, not stainless. You can get new frames made from stainless for about $9500

CoyoteStarfish 07-29-2008 11:45 PM

Only $9,000? Thats not too bad. Once you get one.. Do it! :D it will be a true time traveling (well, time resisting) Delorean.

TheDon 07-29-2008 11:50 PM

no BTTF conversion for me.. maybe a flux capacitor to shut up the idiots that ask about.

lets stay on topic

dannym 07-30-2008 08:43 AM

OK here's what we have so far. If you want to add your name to the list copy & paste it into a new post and add your name to the bottom.

TheDon 07-31-2008 01:40 PM

well.. I hate to say this but... I am not going to be able to put one together this fall.. I've taken a look at my class schedule, work schedule, DMC related things, personal life, as well as some little bits of vacay and I really can't put together a gtg this fall...

If someone else is interested in picking it up go for it...

The Swede 08-05-2008 08:28 AM

When will we have a definite date? Right now, I can get plane tix for under $300 for the last weekend of September.

TheDon 08-05-2008 08:47 AM

Mercy, Lex... Lets have it scheduled so we can get TheSwede down here

79Mercy 08-07-2008 01:14 PM

Lex was talking like sometime in October. But since that will not workout for Theswede, then Im sure we could go back to the original september 27.

fdanielson 08-07-2008 03:10 PM

I'm in
 
Last one was on a Sunday so I couldn't make it. If you're doing it on Saturday I should be able to make it out.
