Snap, I'm just on my way to Florida this evening, so you can all rest assured of pictures of the Exotic Car Show in the town of Celebration upon my return.

All.

A long post as I am playing catch up following my holiday to Florida.

First, and most importantly a big thank you to James Espey. As I was 
over in the US, I spent a day to fly to Houston and visit DMCH. James 
was good enough to give me a personally guided tour, and put up with 
me crawling all over the prototype for pictures, (copies on the way 
to Chris/Andy). Any holiday which manages to cram in Disney, the BTTF 
ride and a visit to ~40 DeLoreans is OK in my book....

Second, my visit to the Florida BTTF ride also resulted in some 
pictures of one of the supposed film cars, if anyone else subscribes 
to the DMCNEWS newsgroup you may recall posts on how poorly the car 
is being maintained, I am sad to say that these were fair. The car is 
on display outside in the glorious heat, and has suffered 
accordingly. Several pieces of exterior trim are missing, presumably 
due to souvenir hunters..

At that time I also purchased what I was assured was the last of the 
Florida stocks of the small Johnny Lightening BTTF 1:43 models, the 
spares will be made available in due course.

Two new gadgets to report, they will be the subject of a second post 
to aid future searching.

Third, whatever Phil Peters does to his car really works. I have now 
seen a proper rebuilt/refinished DMCH car which comes close to the 
gleam on his car?.

Finally, if at all possible I will make the Monday meet, so I hope to 
see some of you there.
