Your story about sniffles and his posse reminded me about my first show in Half Moon Bay, Pacific Coast Dream Machines in 1997. We were set up and had a large number of people stop by and ask a lot of questions. A couple of kids came by with cameras taking pictures. I asked them if they wanted to sit in the car and I would take there picture. Of course they wanted to. A little later a couple of girls and a guy, I guess they were punk rockers, spiked hair, leather with studs and heavy black boots came buy and wanted to sit in the car. I told them no. They challenged me and I said that with there boots and the studs on there clothes I was not going to let them scuff up the seats and carpets. They got loud and obnoxious, but I stood my ground. They would not leave and I was getting a little nervous about the way things were headed. Then several bikers, Harley riders, rough beards, showed up. I figured well how much worse can this get. This mean looking biker came up to me and asked if these baby punks were giving me a bad time. The punks looked at the biker and then looked at me and turned around and left. I thanked the Bikers and they left. You never know when or where a friend will show up. I have noticed when I am driving and I am near a biker, they always give me a thumbs up. I guess us D owners are rebels too.

Bill Robertson and myself were coming back from the SEDOC meet, and Bill's DeLorean decided to rupture a coolant hose in west Charlotte at about 10pm. For those who don't know, west Charlotte is a tad shady to say the least. Snipped by Scott He actually opened up the door at one point and plopped down into the seat. I was just amazed... I'd never seen anyone act like this in my entire life. I just didn't know how to react. I probably would have reacted a lot more negatively had I not been seriously outnumbered by his very large counterparts (I'm not tiny either... I'm about 6'3" tall). I don't think Bill ever heard a single word of the event. Well, Sniffles finally got bored with the car, and got peeved and told his buddies that he didn't want the thing anyways, and that "let's go get some sniffles and go to tha club," and they hopped in their car and sped off. Anyhow... I've had all sorts of crazy people come up and say the most rediculous things to me when driving a DeLorean... but this event takes the cake of the craziest encounter... lol. -Louie Golden VIN- Coming again very soon :-)
